Not only did they use their arsenal of biological and chemical weapons against specific targets, they also allegedly released cholera into water sources of certain Black townships and used their weapons to aid the government troops of Zimbabwe to crush the rebels who were desperately trying to topple the White supremacists.In 1979, the world's largest Anthrax outbreak took place in Zimbabwe resulting in the death of 82 while thousands more fell ill. Hospitals were flooded and emergency medical personnel had to be flown in. The Chemical and Biological Warfare (CBW) program underwent radical changes following the appointment of F.W de Klerk as president in the early 90s.
He appointed General Pierre Steyn to investigate the alleged abuses of power. His report, which came to be known as the Steyn Report, exposed many of the rampant abuses of human rights. This started a chain reaction in which numerous scientists and researchers were fired and all documents pertaining to the CBW program were shredded.
However, all of the information was stored digitally on CD-ROMs kept under tight security. Basson was forced to retire and soon after became a consultant and flew to many countries, one of which happened to be Libya. His frequent visits alarmed the international community. Twice during de Klerk's presidency and once during Mandela's, the United States and Britain made démarches to express their concerns about the leaking of knowledge from the CBW program.
