| Abstract: | South Africa's sophisticated arms industry, once the target of concentrated criticism, is now poised to become one of the country's best earners. The technology is there, the demand is there; but moral and ethical questions still have to be resolved. The formal end of Apartheid in 1994 has not dented the arms industry that was a potent symbol of South Africa's international defiance as well as an effective prop to white minority rule. In the years that have followed political change, military sales have been growing slowly but surely. |
