The Judge found that there was no evidence to suggest that the Council was influenced to be biased or prejudiced against the doctor. It is known that in 1981, when he was working as a personal physician to state president P. W. Botha, the countrys Surgeon-General hired Basson to work for the 7th SAMHS Medical Battalion, the SADFs medical military unit. His job was to collect information about other countries chemical and biological warfare capabilities under the name Project Coast. After his preliminary report, Basson became the head project officer and began to work on the countrys chemical and biological weapons capability. He recruited about 200 researchers from around the world and received annual funds equivalent to 10 million. In 1982, Basson is alleged to have arranged the killing of 200 SWAPO prisoners. Basson created four front companies; Delta G Scientific Company; Roodeplaat Research Laboratories (RRL), Protechnik and Infadel, which in 1989 was split into two companies - D. ![]() The companies were used to officially distance the military from the project, to procure necessary chemicals and channel funds for the research. Delta G did most of the research, production and development of the chemical agents, while RRL developed chemical and biological pathogens and allegedly was involved with genetic engineering. Protechnik was a large nuclear, biological and chemical warfare plant developing defences against chemical weapons. Infadel dealt with those on a smaller scale and concentrated on financing and administration of other units and possibly channelling funds between military and research facilities. Many of the employees were not aware of what they were involved with. ![]() Basson provided the Civil Cooperation Bureau (CCB) with lethal chemicals to be used against prominent anti-apartheid activists. Basson continued to travel all over the world to gather information about chemical and biological warfare programs and set up other shell and paper companies as additional front companies, possibly for money laundering. Basson concentrated on non-lethal chemical agents and chemicals the government had not banned. That included a large amount of ecstasy and Mandrax that were apparently exported or allegedly sold to the drug dealers in communities active in the anti-apartheid movement (see Basson brownies). Scientists working on the project later stated that they believed it was to be used to create drug-laced tear gas. Investigation by the United Nations, U.S. United Kingdom identified it as BZ nerve agent. USA and Britain began to pressure the South African government and in January 1993 Project Coast was wound down.
