Dr. Wouter Basson was the leader of the group blamed for that, so he could be the name you are looking for.

Dr. Mike Odendaal, a researcher at RRL, played a major role in a project to freeze-dry various pathogens, including the salmonella bacterium, in larger than normal quantities (Project R47). After producing these organisms, he gave them to Dr. André Immelman, RRL's R&D director. He also regularly provided Immelman with instructions concerning dosages and safety precautions for handling the dangerous substances he made. Immelman then stored these and other lethal materials inside a refrigerator in a bombproof, fireproof walk-in safe in his office.
On the purported instructions of Project Officer Wouter Basson, Immelman later secretly transferred a number of highly toxic substances to military and police personnel through various channels. (Names listed on link site)
According to Immelman, these salmonella bacteria had worked very well and all the ANC delegates fell ill, though none of them died.
