5 In May 1996 the Minister of Defence presented to Parliament the White Paper on National Defence for the Republic of South Africa. Parliament approved the document, with strong support expressed by all political parties. 2. The overarching theme of the White Paper is the transformation of Defence policy and the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) in the light of the momentous political and strategic developments which have occurred at national, regional and international levels following the demise of the Cold War and the ending of apartheid. 3. At national level these developments include the establishment of a democratic government; the introduction of the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) to address poverty and socio-economic inequality; the policy of national unity and reconciliation; and the adoption of a new Constitution which outlaws discrimination, enshrines fundamental human rights and lays the basis for democratic civil-military relations.

6 4. After two and a half decades of isolation, South Africa has been welcomed back into the international community and has joined a host of important regional and international bodies. South Africa now engages in Defence co-operation with a number of countries and participates in regional security arrangements under the auspices of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). 5. In the light of these developments and the integration of the former statutory and non-statutory forces, the challenge of transformation is substantial and complex. The White Paper addresses this challenge at the level of broad policy. It establishes a policy framework and the main principles of Defence in our new democracy.

7 6. The White Paper also provides for a Defence Review , the aim of which is to elaborate on this policy framework through comprehensive long-range planning on such matters as posture, doctrine, force design, force levels, logistic support, armaments, equipment, human resources and funding. 7. More specifically, the White Paper provides that the Review will encompass the following: It will present options with respect to the size, roles and structure of the SANDF. file:///D|/backup/ Defence %20 (1 of 8)2006/09/26 11:04:46 AMCHAPTER It will address the implications of the core force approach, described in Chapter 5 of the White Paper, for the size, doctrine, posture, weaponry, equipment and other features of the SANDF.

8 It will address the strategic and technical implications of the constitutional provision that the SANDF "shall be primarily defensive in the exercise or performance of its powers and functions". It will deal with the implications of the principles of " Defence in a democracy", described in Chapter 2 of the White Paper, for the orientation of the SANDF. It will present, for the consideration of Parliament and the public, detailed and well-motivated budgetary forecasts and proposals; specific policies regarding the provisioning of logistic resources; and the identification of appropriate technology to optimise the cost-effectiveness of the core force. It will deal with the size and structure of the Part-Time Component (PTC).

9 It will include an examination of prevailing conditions in the SANDF with the view to rationalising current spending, eliminating waste and unnecessary duplication, and determining the most cost-effective means of managing human and material resources. It will provide details on the rationalisation, redesign and right-sizing of the SANDF given the absence of a foreseeable conventional military threat. In the context of demobilisation and rationalisation, it will outline a formula and guidelines for ensuring that the former statutory and non-statutory forces are equitably represented in the OF CONDUCTING THE Defence Review 8. The drafting of the Defence Review was the responsibility of a Working Group appointed by the Minister of Defence and co-ordinated by the Secretary for Defence .

10 The Working Group established specialist sub-committees on Defence posture, functions and force design; human resource issues; the PTC; the arms industry; legal issues; and land and the environment. 9. The Working Group and its sub-committees comprised members of Parliament, the Defence Secretariat, the regular and part-time components of the SANDF, Armscor and the Defence industry, the academic community, and non-governmental organisations. 10. In the interests of achieving a national consensus on Defence matters, the Minister decided at the file:///D|/backup/ Defence %20 (2 of 8)2006/09/26 11:04:46 AMCHAPTER ONEoutset that the Review should be subject to a process of consultation with Defence stakeholders and interest groups.
