4.36. At present, according to the testimony of Mr. Gaiman the Scientology Organization
World Wide is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of five members and assisted by a
Guardian World Wide and seven Deputy Guardians. The Guardian World Wide is the senior executive
of the Church of Scientology.
4.37. In each continental area there is also a Guardian (called Assistant or Deputy
Guardian). The Deputy Guardian for the Republic of South Africa is the senior executive in
administration and planning and implements policy. The Deputy Guardian is a member of the
Board of Directors of the Church of Scientology in South Africa (Pty.) Ltd. This Board of
Directors is not compelled to carry out policy laid down by the World Wide Board and may
introduce new polity of its own, provided it is within the sphere of the Articles of
Association and the rules and regulations of the Church. This means that the various
Scientology churches throughout the world are now autonomous.
4.38. In addition to the Deputy Guardian for the Republic of South Africa and the Board
of Directors of the Church of Scientology in South Africa (Pty.) Ltd., there is also an
Executive Council for Africa (three members), which is responsible for the day to day running of
the Church and Organizations in the Republic of South Africa, and a Director of Social Work.*
For the rest the work in the Organizations is presumably carried out by the auditors, directors
of training, chaplains, secretaries, security officers and other members of staff.
