The South African Police became involvedin the 70's in the guerilla war and counter-insurgency operationswhich did not involve normal functions of policing.  The factthat the South African Police was used in such a way made quitea difference in the training techniques.  The police had to beable to also combat guerillas and take part in a military war. This included all elements of combat, guerilla warfare and counter-insurgencyactivities.  It also included training to kill, self-defence andmilitary tactics.  It also included training relating to interrogationof terrorists and planning of military operations.
 The ANC/SACP alliance during the 1970's further started a full-scaleguerilla war against the Republic of South Africa.  The populationwere indoctrinated to believe that there was a full-scale waragainst the Republic of South Africa.  The way in which the guerillawar developed showed that this was a correct view of the situation. The ANC/SACP alliance was supported by the Eastern block countriesand specifically the USSR.
