Abstract
This article traces the politics of meaning-fixing with respect to the role
of the defence force as apartheid declined from the mid-1980s, as it was negotiated
from a current to a past organising principle of the “security imaginary” in the period
1990 to 1994 and as the post-apartheid period commenced after the 1994 elections.
