Acknowledgements
This dissertation was made possible by family and friends who have supported me
and numerous acquaintances who have been willing to assist me in recovering
beneficial information that I would not otherwise have been privy to.
Thank you to all the helpful people from Cambridge University and participants of
the 24th International Symposium on Economic Crime. Without your assistance a
very valuable survey on the organised crime of organ trafficking would not have
been possible. Thank you in particular to Prof. J.J. Henning, Prof. B.A.K. Rider,
Adv. J.H. de Bruin, Prof. C.P. v/d M Fick, Mr. S. Cassella, Miss. E. Harrington,
Mrs. G. Cummings and Mr. A. Gilbert.
Thank you, Prof. Oosthuizen, for all your patience, guidance and wisdom. Thank
you for your willingness to always be available for discussion regarding my
dissertation and for providing encouraging words of advice and many laughs.
To my family:
Meggan, Mom and Dad, I could not have completed this
dissertation without your support. To Malcolm ¨C thank you for always reminding
me that I can do anything I dream of. Thank you also for having faith in me to
succeed at everything I do ¨C you mean the world to me. Thank you all for your
much needed opinions that more often than not formed the basis of many
arguments in my dissertation. I love you all.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for giving me courage, strength and a fighting spirit to
tackle such a controversial and complicated subject and for never allowing me to
give up.
