HOME FOR YOUR INTELLIGENCE MEMORABILIA

ABSTRACT: Nongqai’s valuable digital archive is being preserved for posterity, in partnership with a leading university’s library. Similarly, our team believes that the common dream among many intelligence veterans of having a properly managed permanent repository, at a suitably prestigious heritage venue, of MEMORABILIA associated with the history of Intelligence Services in South Africa, may soon be realised. However, in the negotiations to promote this, it is important for us to be able to submit an indication of the kind and likely volume of such material that intelligence veterans would consider donating. Therefore, please contact our intelligence sub-editor, Henning van Aswegen, at: subintel@nongqai.org for further information and/or to send us your informal “inventory” (with photos please) of memorabilia you may be willing to donate.
