Project Coast: A Top-Secret Chemical and Biological Weapon (CBW) Program

Many are unaware that Project Coast was the successor to a limited post-war Chemical Biological Weapon CBW program that mainly produced the lethal agents CX powder and mustard gas, as well as non-lethal tear gas for riot control purposes. This is also why a great deal of money was spent developing new forms of tear gas and investigating whether street drugs could be used to ‘calm’ crowds. Today in many places, rioters have been teargassed. Failure to hold anyone accountable for Project Coast will grow the culture of impunity in South Africa and is all too familiar across the globe. The program's activities were conducted under secrecy and with the support of an extensive international network, including behind-the-scenes governments. Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.
