Editor’s Note: Adm. Gerhardt was afforded the opportunity to comment on this contribution, prior to publication. He confirmed that, in his then position as a Senior Staff Officer Research in the Office of Force Development of the CSADF, he did have access to such material, but preferred not to comment further on the matter.

In 1963 stig genl Lang Hendrik van den Berg, genl Mike Geldenhuys en ‘n groep baanbrekers Republikeinse Intelligensie (RI) in Pretoria en Johannesburg. RI funksioneer vir ses jaar, tot en met die stigting van die Buro vir Staatsveiligheid (BSV) in 1969, as geheime afdeling in die Veiligheidstak van die SAP. * Ons is op soek na agtergrond-inligting, verhale, staaltjies en foto’s van RI en die baanbrekers wat daar gewerk het, met die oog om ‘n boek te publiseer.

Met groot dank: Henning van Aswegen, Hennie Heymans, dr Willem Steenkamp. Baie dankie! Groete, seëninge Henning
