Briefing paper two: the National Security Management System

Title: Briefing paper two: the National Security Management System
Date: c. 1987–1988
Description: An activist briefing paper analysing the apartheid government's "Total Strategy" during the 1986 State of Emergency. It describes the shift toward "Low Intensity Conflict" (LIC) and "Winning Hearts and Minds" (WHAM) strategies. The document breaks down the four-committee structure of the JMCs (Intelligence, Security, Welfare, and Communications) and explains how the state combined brutal repression (assassinations and detentions) with "upgrading" (socio-economic projects) to divide communities and neutralize liberation movements.
