South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR or SAIMAR, pronounced /ˈsaɪmɑːr/)[1] is the name of a paramilitary organization that is believed to have performed clandestine operations to support white supremacy in Africa.
[2][3] A year before the second elections after the end of Apartheid, documents emerged implying SAIMR had a role in a plot to kill Dag Hammarskjöld, the UN Secretary-General, in 1961.
[5] While conducting research on her 2011 book about the plane crash that killed Hammarskjöld, Susan Williams noticed that the original documents from the TRC have disappeared.
[8] The documentary discloses testimony from an alleged ex-SAIMR operative that SAIMR deliberately spread HIV among black people in Africa.
These references indicate agency awareness, and support of, the clandestine operations of SAIMR in concert with CIA, MI6 and other intelligence organizations to enhance control aspects of SA government.
