[This is fascinating. Firstly, Kasrils is a Jewish Communist. I absolutely detest him. That he is behind this… is something worth watching. Secondly, I have no doubt that it will be easy enough to hire the relevant people. Thirdly, I must reiterate, that, a S.Africa, under Jacob Zuma… building NUCLEAR WEAPONS… could be something the CIA does not like at all. It could make us another North Korea! I don’t know how common this knowledge is, but I have read that the CIA and other Western Intelligence agencies asked President De Klerk to get rid of our nuclear weapons because they feared they would fall into ANC hands. So much of this talk of how “nice” the National Party was to get rid of our nuclear weapons… was really driven (a) By CIA & Western intelligence fears (b) Afrikaner/White fears… Nobody wants the ANC to have nuclear weapons because they were, after all terrorists.

I would like to see where this goes. Perhaps, Kasrils is jerking the CIA’s chain… and the CIA will jump around on Mbeki. This is definitely worth watching.

It also makes me wonder about the new nuclear reactor we are building. Perhaps… despite this talk of electricity needs… perhaps there is something bigger afoot? Perhaps the ANC wants to become a nuclear power, along with Iran, Pakistan and North Korea… so that we are another nuclear power IN THE AXIS OF EVIL…?

And if Jacob Zuma comes to power… then this would add some seriously dangerous stuff into the mix… because we’d have a 100% communist controlled nuclear power on African soil.

I cannot see the USA and Europe liking any of this AT ALL.

This is worth watching… CLOSELY. Jan]

A question that remains unanswered is exactly who will design and build these bombs for the black regime. All those plans they have on CD were compiled by white scientists. There is just no way that a bunch of blacks with forged degrees will manage it. It is not exactly a matter of monkey see monkey do. Unfortunately there are still plenty of whites willing to sell out their kith and kin. The regime will probably not have much trouble co-opting the white scientists and engineers needed to do its dirty work.

Is South Africa considering nuclear weapons?
Date: Mon 18 September 2006
Category: Nuclear
Issue No:

A government spokesperson has stated that South Africa is investigating the possibility of enriching uranium locally, but has denied rumours that the recent decision was linked to the future development of nuclear weapons.

But a prominent university professor was recently invited to give a presentation to the South African intelligence community, which included the suggestion of restarting the country’s nuclear weapons programme.

The controversial presentation comes as South Africa™s Special Representative on Disarmament, Abdul Minty, chairs the 50th session of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria.

Speaking at the conference today, South African Minister of Minerals and Energy Sonjica said that South Africa strongly supported the Convention on Nuclear Safety, and called on the nuclear-weapon states to reaffirm their commitments and undertakings to systematically and progressively eliminate their nuclear weapon arsenals.

According to a Weekend Argus report, dean of research at the University of the Western Cape, Professor Renfrew Christie, was invited to give the controversial talk by Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils.

During the presentation, Christie warned of possible future wars in Africa, and suggested that that South Africa needed to quickly be able to revert to a nuclear weapons state if it became vital to the country’s interests.

The professor noted that South Africa still retained a stockpile of weapons grade highly enriched uranium derived from the country’s former nuclear weapons programme. He also reminded everyone that technical knowledge of South Africa’s former atomic bombs was still contained on CD’s held by the current government.

The Weekend Argus reported that the presentation was greeted with loud applause from the intelligence community. Critics are concerned that such thinking is likely to spread to policy makers, and warned of the possible consequences for Africa.

Sources in government are concerned that the South African government has been ploughing billions of rands into the controversial Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) despite a report by Price Waterhouse Coopers suggesting that the project was financially risky, and warned that there may be other motives behind the project.

According to Mashile Phalane from the environmental watchdog Earthlife Africa, South Africa is falling into the same trap as the apartheid government by wanting to enrich uranium.
