   The South African native is probably the one impossible person   
   to train in the entire world? he is probably impossible by any   
   human standard.

   1957.   
      
   ...   
      
   ..it is easily seen that a primary requisite in any program of the   
   rehabilitation of the Bantu in South Africa would be mental health...

   Insane"   
      
   The South African Rundown, the only Scientology rundown targeted at a   
   specific ethnic group, was developed for "delivery to South Africans,   
   those who   
   reside in South Africa as well as those who have emigrated to other parts   
   of   
   the world". Hubbard apparently felt they required special processing   
   because   
   they were "untrainable" and "insane".   
      
   The Church's auditing tool, the E-meter, requires adjustment in order to   
   accommodate   
   the needle's larger movements because of the intensity of a Bantu's   
   undisclosed   
   transgressions ("withholds").   
      
   A "black South African's" withholds read not only on the needle [of the   
   E-meter]   
   alone but on the Tone Arm [sensitivity adjustment] as well.

   ..   
   Because the one thing, the very, very commercial little culture the Bantu   
   has   
   .. the idea of commerce and money and that sort of thing is very deeply   
   ingrained in these people.

   Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought is one of Scientology's basic   
   public   
   texts and has this to say about African "savages":   
      
   Just as individuals can be seen, by observing nations, so we see the   
   African   
   tribesman, with his complete contempt for truth and his emphasis on   
   brutality   
   and savagery for others but not for himself, is a no-civilization.

   Africans.

   The Church runs security checks on members suspected of certain criminal   
   behaviors.   
   The Johannesburg Security Check was "the roughest security check in   
   Scientology"   
   and consisted of a series of pointed questions which the Scientologist   
   must answer   
   while on the E-meter (used in this case not as an auditing tool but as a   
   lie   
   detector). The contents of this security check were later incorporated   
   into The   
   Only Valid Security Check. Included in the list of "crimes" is engaging   
   in an   
   intimate relationship with a member of a "colored" race. Selected portion   
   of   
   the questions:   
      
   Have you ever slept with a member of a race of another color?   
   Have you ever committed culpable homicide?   
   Have you ever bombed anything?   
   Have you ever murdered anyone?   
   Have you ever kidnapped anyone?

   ---------   
      
   There are hints that Scientology membership was limited to whites, at   
   least   
   initially, in the orgs of southern Africa. In the first quote, Hubbard is   
   concerned about the World Bank taking control of England and the general   
   advance of Communism. He believes a stronghold of civilization can be set   
   up in Africa to ensure the survival of white Anglo-American culture. In   
   the second quote, Hubbard praises the South African org, that, in spite   
   of the limited white population from which to recruit, managed to   
   outproduce   
   all other Scientology orgs.   
      
   Now if we can get white population, immigrants and big companies and so   
   on moving   
   into Africa and if we can get with that Scientology well established in   
   Southern   
   Africa, why we can then look forward to a salvage operation base, in case   
   the   
   northern hemisphere's lights go out.   
      
   -L. Ron Hubbard, recorded talk to the Saint Hill staff about Rhodesia, 6   
   May 1966   
      
   As South Africa has a white population of only 2.8 million or   
   thereabouts, you   
   can see that every other central organization in the world has been   
   out-created.   
      
   -L. Ron Hubbard, HCOB 17 July 1959, "Africa over the Top"   
      
   Hubbard sought to create a Scientology homeland in South Africa or   
   Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).   
   The Church claims it opposed the white minority governments (yet most of   
   its activity   
   in the early years took place in colonial states where whites ruled and   
   English was   
   the official language: England, United States, Australia, South Africa,   
   Rhodesia);   
   Hubbard, however, appears to have thought the problem of apartheid was   
   overstated.   
      
   -------------   
      
   It is considered in England and the United States that the Government of   
   South Africa   
   is altogether too harsh with its native peoples. It is sadly humorous to   
   notice that   
   the native in South Africa, however, holds an exactly reverse opinion and   
   the fault   
   he finds with the South African Government is that it is far too lenient   
   in its   
   administration of laws throughout the native populace.   
      
   -L. Ron Hubbard, PAB No. 96, "Justice", 15 September 1956   
      
   ------------   
      
   The problem of South Africa is different than the world thinks. There is   
   no native   
   problem. The native worker gets more than white workers do in England!   
   ..   
   The South African government is not a police state. It's easier on people   
   than   
   the United States government!   
      
   -L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin (HCOB) 10 October   
   1960   
   (quoted in Scientology's Fight for Apartheid by Chris Owen)   
      
   ----------------   
      
   Hubbard praises the South African government's handling of the black   
   slums in Johannesburg:   
      
   Having viewed slum clearance projects in most major cities of the world   
   may I state that you have   
   conceived and created in the Johannesburg townships what is probably the   
   most impressive and   
   adequate resettlement activity in existence.

   Illiterate cultures do not survive and they are not very high. The   
   natives   
   of the tribe of the Bugga-Bugga-Booga-Boogas down in Lower Bugga-Wugga   
   Booga-Woog are mostly no longer with us, or they are around waving red   
   flags today and revolting against their central government.   
      
   Well, the British Tommy that went down there with his Snider, or his   
   Lee-Enfield, and brought them higher education in the first place was   
   only occasionally followed by anybody who taught them anything. And
