To Serve and Protect’ reveals for the first time the sensational details behind the apartheid government’s clandestine funding of Buthelezi’s Inkatha Freedom Party and the events that led up to the so-called Inkathagate Scandal. The story is all the more remarkable as it identifies the entire expose was the work of one man, a white conscript, who served in the South African Police’s Security Branch. Brian provides graphic and often disturbing details of how the SAP embarked on a ‘dirty tricks’ campaign with the aim of harassing antiapartheid activists. He spent his years in the Security Branch gathering fi les that conclusively proved that the government was funding Inkatha to fuel black-on-black political infighting. ‘To Serve and Protect’ outlines how the police’s ‘brotherhood of silence’ code was prevalent in the force and how it was frequently used to subvert the course of justice.
