History of South Africa (Apocalypse: 2012)

The history of South Africa following the apocalypse

Reaction
In the afternoon of December 22, 2012, acting-president Kgalema Motlanthe and his cabinet met in Pretoria to discuss how to move the country forward in the wake of the cataclysm. By a majority vote, the cabinet agreed that the best option for South Africa was to stabilize the economy, increase agricultural output, and the assisting of displaced individuals and refugees. Literally overnight, he passed a series of directives, which includes the establishment of martial law; government confiscation of farms; rationing of medical supplies and food; and the distribution of displaced people and refugees to different parts of the country.

The South African Army was quickly deployed into the streets across the nation, checkpoints were set up at major border crossings, and all major hospitals in the country's major cities were quickly secure. The Chief of the South African Army, Lieutenant General Vusumuzi Masondo, quickly divided the country into four miltiary districts to help control any uprisings or riots easier. The four districts are: At the same times as the deployment of the army, fighter aircraft of the South African Air Force, upon word of the launch at 7:30am, were immeaditly launched from their airbases to protect the nation from nuclear missiles and foreign invasion. Transport helicopters and aircraft allowed for a speeder deployment of soldiers to remote parts of the country not accessible by road.

 * District 2 (Pretoria)
 * District 3 (Duban)
 * District 4 (Springbok)

The South African Navy was the last branch of the military to be deployed, despite the large possibility that an invasion will likely come from the sea. Vice Admiral Refiloe Johannes Mudimu ordered the navy to watch out for refugees travelling to South Africa via boat and to escort them back to Cape Town or Port Elizabeth.

Ceasefire
With the assured destruction of the national governments of the warring countries, Ambassadors Jacques Lapouge of France, Horst Freitag of Germany, Dov Segev Steinberg of Israel, Tian Xeujun of People's Republic of China, Mikhail Ivanovich Petrako of Russia, United Kingdom of Mark Simmond, and Donald Grips of the United States meet in Johannesburg to discuss a ceasefire between the main warring powers, but the prospect of continous ground war between North and South Korea led to the two nations being left out of the meeting.
