The CCB operated domestically as well as abroad, and reported directly to State President [[P. W. Botha]]. CCB headquarters was located in the suburb of Rietondale in the capital Pretoria, nearby to the Union Buildings and to the presidential residence of Libertas. Perhaps the most controversial of South Africa's security apparatus, the CCB has been accused of [[torture]], human experiments, political assassinations and the training and funding of militant groups throughout the world. The CCB was among the most secretive of the apartheid regime's agencies along with the National Intelligence Service and the SADF's nuclear development programme. Second only to the Defence Force and its activities, the CCB received the largest annual budget among all the country's departments, however the exact amount has remained classified. The CCB represented a new method of state-directed warfare in the South African context, part of the South African Special Forces but structured and functioning in a way intended to make it seem it was not. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission considered the CCB to be responsible for numerous killings, and suspected it of many more.
