Abstract:The most recent phase of South Africa's propaganda war, unleased in 1972, has provoked the worst political scandal in South African history. For several years there had been assertions by investigative journalists that the South African government was behind a variety of schemes designed to win friends and influence policy amog its western allies. By 1979 it had become clear that many of the allegations were true. The South African Department of Information had spent $100 million on unconventional methods for this purpose in a seven year period. The author presents a survey of the sources and current literature on this topic, focussing, amongst others, on some of the key actors involved: the South African Department of Information; Collier, Shannon, Rill and Edwards; the Club of Ten in Britain; Sydney S. Baron and Company; John McGoff and the Washington Star; the Suoth Africa Foundation and the sugar lobby; and the Foregin Affairs Association. Ref.
