Mr Craig Williamson, Major Craig Williamson at the time, was a natural choice because of his background and experience to be part of the team, and other ... BRIG DELPORT: My task was to ensure that on the particular evening of the 25th or 26th of June, a team of explosive experts would be placed on a ready basis to investigate the explosion scenes, to conduct investigations. ADV LAMEY: My apologies Mr Koole. I briefly would like to make a couple of statements to you which comes from a statement made by Mr Mamasela - he made this on a previous occasion to the Investigating Team of the Truth Commission, and more specifically I’d like to refer you to the crux of his ... Then we asked Mrs Msimang, "Mrs Msimang, you say Xola was a hero?", "Yes". "You've seen your heroes, the security force?" "Yes". "They'll try by all means to come to their houses to tell their parents what happened to them, now what kind of a hero are you referring to, while the hero was still ... MR RAS: Chairperson, when I made the statement I was one of the first who made a statement with the investigating team and I cannot recall specifically. At that stage persons entered my memory and I may have been mistaken regarding Snor Vermeulen, Dawid Britz, Blackie Swart and Sakkie Morkel. The ... Mr Britz, can you remember whether Wouter Mentz was in the backup team? These are the men who walked right at the back in the operation. He participated in the planning of the operation and headed the surveillance team that observed the transit house prior to the execution of the operation. He participated in the planning and the execution of the operation and in particular shot the deceased Rapula Thika. MR BIZOS: Mr Chairman could I clarify. I have no objection to a version being put to a witness, but we must be told whether it is in - and he can cross examine on it if he so desires - I object to the Affidavit going in in the absence of an assurance that General Erasmus is going to be called and ... MR MOERANE: And the purpose of that gathering has been said to be one of team-building, "spanbou". MR McBRIDE: Yes, I just want to mention this is the first time I have heard of a Mr Baker, at all, related to this incident. Not in the trial court or in subsequent appeal hearings or anywhere else has a Mr Baker been referred to. Neither was this name included in the summary of substantial facts ... MR WAGENER: And that was the legal team under the leadership of Adv Sam Maritz of the Pretoria Bar? MS THABETE: So are you saying to me yourself and your colleagues, you couldn't form a team and go and investigate in an area that you were familiar with, is that what you are saying to me? We thank also all the hard workers who have helped us to prepare these hearings. We thank Solly Terblanche and his team for providing the sound and the amplification. DR BASSON: I understand it at this stage, after I tried to contact the legal representatives this morning, that Mr Cilliers will not be available tomorrow and would perhaps be available on Friday. As I understand it the other members of the team will also not be available on these two days. And the leader of the investigation team was Lucas van Loggerenberg and McDonald and a few others, there were so many of them, but he was the leader. And he was also the one who was giving orders for my beatings. After six months Lucas came - he told me that the Section 29 Detention Order has ... I was not involved with the terrorist desk and I denied this to Mr Dumisa, I said that they did not report to me namely Captain Venter. I did not even know Captain Venter - of the whole team and those who were at Post Chalmers, I only knew Moss personally. And I also said this to Mr Dumisa as ... MR RICHARD: Now in the nature of things, because you say you're familiar with these things, you would have known that if it were a transmitter there would have been a back-up team listening to the transactions where the deceased was and they would have known where he went. MR RAS: No, I didn't make a statement in the case against him. Afterwards I went to the special investigating team and said I would make a full disclosure but in his case I didn't testify. They put me in solitary confinement for three consecutive days. The team of warrant officer Chibambo, Noqi Tsahoge, Constable Tsahoge, this was the team which used to come to my cell and start torturing me. MR LAMEY: And during the team-building function which was held at Island Rock, you were transferred back to C1 under instruction of Brig Schoon. |
