History
As a British colony, South Africa was important because of its strategic position in connection to the sea lane to East Asia, and because gold and diamonds were discovered in large quantities.
Decolonialisation
Although it was given nominal independence[When?][How?], the nation remained under the control of the European educated and descended group which had ruled it as a colony. Patrick Duncan, for example, a member of the Milner Group, was made Governor-General of South Africa. The group retained close ties to London.
Apartheid government

The colonial mindset was legally entrenched by an openly racist legal system with only token efforts towards equality. This disenfrancised the majority South African population and attracted worldwide criticism, leading to diplomat isolation. The South African deep state was active in maintaining this system, and engaged in brutal repression of critics and activists promoting a more genuinely representative democracy.
Le Cercle

The diplomatic isolation of the apartheid government meant that global diplomatic contacts were highly valuable. The mindset of most members of Le Cercle meant that the apartheid government was no a barrier to collaboration. This lead to South Africa contributing money to the Cercle and hosting several of its meetings. This connection may have been important in the assassination of Olof Palme.
End of apartheid
After years of economic and cultural sanctions, the apartheid government handed over official political power, after agreeing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission which guaranteed immunity to those fully admitted past crimes.
Nuclear weapons
South Africa was in possession of 10 nuclear weapons, but the apartheid government reportedly disposed of them. Their fate remains disputed.[citation needed]

Mark Minnie was a detective-turned-author who became interested in paedophilia networks at the top of the South African government. He collaborated with Chris Steyn to write The Lost Boys of Bird Island, published on 5 August 2018. This gave details of child rape and murder by key figures in the last apartheid government. Minnie was shot dead on 14 August. The South African police reported that it was a suicide, a claim that was widely disbelieved.[3]
