About this episode

The episode discusses the infiltration of the Koeberg nuclear power station by Rodney Wilkinson on behalf of the ANC, marking a significant act of sabotage during apartheid.

Nel dicembre del 1982, l'ingegnere e campione di scherma Rodney Wilkinson si infiltra nella centrale nucleare sudafricana di Koeberg piazzando quattro bombe per conto dell'ANC. È la cronaca logistica del più grande sabotaggio nella storia dell'apartheid, compiuto sfruttando l'unico vero punto cieco dell'apparato di sicurezza del regime: il colore della pelle dell'attentatore.Gli articoli citati nella puntata sono: Stephen Robert Morse, "The man who blew up a nuclear power station and disappeared", pubblicato su The Guardian il 5 maggio 2026; Jo-Ansie van Wyk, "Nuclear terrorism in Africa: The ANC's Operation Mac and the attack on the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in South Africa", saggio accademico del Department of Political Sciences, University of South Africa.
