Civil Cooperation Bureau of South Africa (SWM)

The Civil Cooperation Bureau (CCB) (Afrikaans: Burgerlike Samewerkingsburo, BSB) is the Republic of South Africa's principal counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and clandestine services agency. It is part of South Africa's Security Branch and is led by the Director of Civil Cooperation (DCC). The Secretary of Security is ex officio also the DCC, and currently is S.C. Vermeulen. The Bureau operates domestically as well as abroad, and reports directly to the State President. The CCB Headquarters is located in the suburb of Rietondale in the capital, nearby to the and the presidential residence of Libertas.

Perhaps the most controversial of South Africa's security apparatus, the Civil Cooperation Bureau has been accused of torture, human experiments, political assassinations, terrorism and the training and funding of militant groups throughout the world. The CCB is among the most secretive of South Africa's government agencies along with the National Intelligence Bureau and the SADF's nuclear development program. Second only to the Defense Force and its activities; the CCB receives the largest annual budget among all the country's departments, however the exact amount has remained classified.
