A private military milita that worked closely with the South African apartheid regime

The South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR) was a militia that closely cooperated with South African intelligence agencies, being responsible for many significant operations, especially in the frontline states in Southern Africa that were sympathetic to the anti-Apartheid resistance.

The SAIMR first became publicly known during sessions of the South African Truth and Reconcilliation Committee (TRC) in 1998. The SAIMR militia had up to 5000 members to draw from.

“It was clandestine operations. We were involved in coups, taking over countries for other leaders,” said Alexander Jones, who has detailed his years as an intelligence officer with the group. SAIMR’s leaders described themselves as “anti-communist” to him at the time but the group was underpinned by racism, he said. “We were trying to retain the white supremacy on the African continent.” “Anybody that resisted any white form of manipulation on the African continent, SAIMR was prepared to go and quell those for a price,” [1]
