Persoonlike menings in die loop van 'n artikel uitgespreek, word nie noodwendig deur die SA W onderskryf nie.Opinions expressed by individual contributors do not necessarily reflect the official viewpoint of the SADF.Increasing urbanization is an important reason for the shift in accent of guerrilla activities. On the one hand the politically unsophisticated inhabitants of the rural areas are not ripe for revolution and on the other hand technological developments of the past few decades have detrimentally influenced the position of the guerrilla in this area. The South African city as spatial base for an insurgent state is analysed and discussed in the article below.
