African National Congress
The African National Congress (ANC) is South Africa's dominant liberation movement and governing party since 1994, relevant to this vault through PROMIS software targeting and Israeli military intelligence connections during the apartheid era.
The African National Congress (ANC) was a black revolutionary group in South Africa. It was targeted by the PROMIS software, which was implemented in Transkei by Degem (controlled by Israeli military intelligence) with the assistance of Robert Maxwell.
PROMIS was used as a "killing machine" against the ANC and other black revolutionary groups, leading to the disappearance or maiming of almost 12,000 activists by early 1986. This was often carried out through "black-on-black" violence by death squads led by Chief Gatsha Buthelezi, a term known in Israeli intelligence circles as "Kushi kills Kushi." The system tracked dissidents through their required identity passes, and death lists were drawn up and handed over to Buthelezi's group.1
