Vlakplaas is a Farm about 20-kilometres West of Pretoria. Established in 1979, a 100-hectare Farm nestled in the Hills outside Pretoria, on the Hennops River. This was a secret operation against terrorism, formed here under the arm of a division of the South African Police, headed by Brigadier Schoon. These unit comprised of recruits mostly from the Local population. They were then trained to take military, or political action against the activities of guerrillas or revolutionaries of the Apartheid Government.
