'Let the Experiment begin, considered unique in the Western World, they were drug users and deviants on the South African Defence Force Experiment'.GREEFSWALD, is a name associated with an event in 2005, when Amnesty International, supported a recommendation by The South African Council of Churches, The Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town as well as The South African Bishops Conference, that a Commission of Enquiry be appointed to investigate allegations in a report styled 'The Aversion Project'.
GREEFSWALD, being part of the report, relating to this and other alleged human rights abuses. This approach was not successful, some interest then re surfaced in The South African Media, in 2010, when, an ex-South African Defence Force Colonel was arrested in Canada.
Doctor Aubrey Levin, being the Team Leader of THE SOUTH AFRICAN DEFENCE FORCE DRUG REHABILITATION PROGRAMME, at the military base GREEFSWALD, mentioned in the Aversion Project Report.
DEWAN MCGREGOR and ROBERT MCCARAVEY, have collaborated in compiling a manuscript
relating to this, a little known part of the South African Defence Force history.
DEWAN, takes one into the background of events leading up to his younger brother STUART, being conscripted for National Service, and his subsequent death in GREEFSWALD military base.
The impact on the family, and a subsequent search, to obtain some form of understanding to the events surrounding the death of STUART, GREEFSWALD, WARD 22, THE AVERSION PROJECT and the Drug Rehabilitation Programme.
ROBERT, spent time in GREEFSWALD as a Medical Orderly, and takes one through the South Africa of those times, his recollections of his National Service, including GREEFSWALD, where he meets up with a school friend Gordon Torr, actual experiences of conscripts on the Programme, including events from 2013 onwards.
A story of events, little known in South Africa.
