Faculty of Humanities / This research report begins with a brief review of mercenary history
before the twentieth century, followed by chapters on mercenaries and
PMCs in post-independence Africa and the use of PMCs by strong states
(particularly the United States in Iraq). The fourth section analyses
relevant international, regional and national laws, focussing on South
African legislation. The final chapter considers pressing questions such
as the use of PMCs by the United Nations and the case for banning all
PMCs, explores the South African connection, and makes the case for a
less hostile, more pragmatic South African approach to PMCs.
