Zusammenfassung: | The history of radical Islamic fundamentalist development in the Middle East and North Africa has shown that radical Islamic fundamentalism thrives best in countries where there is little or no democracy, where government is corrupt, autocratic and intolerant to criticism, where there is unemployment, poverty and high levels of crime. Shows that, although many of these negative factors currently apply to SA, the country has so far managed to escape the violent manifestations of militant Islamic fundamentalism. Briefly discusses the various militant organisations in SA including: Al-Jihad, Qibla, Hizballah, Al-Murabitun, Mujlisul Ulama, Hamas, Islamic Unity Convention (IUC) and the Jihad Movement.
