MR MALGAS: In answering this question, I would put it this way. In South Africa we had liberation armies like MK and Apla. As I've already mentioned here before that 2 members of the MK, they were responsible for us in certain things, so the instruction or the decision was that we should take ...

My view is that the matter I don't think can be concluded properly without - unless of course there is no indication that they are going to or want to give evidence but I don't think the matter can be properly concluded without hearing something from the APLA high command.

MR VAN NIEKERK: It was mainly the ANC activists within the ANC, trained terrorists, members of Umkhonto weSizwe movement and then also to a lesser degree members of the APLA movement.

MR DE KOCK: Chairperson, he would have been shot in the head, there is no doubt about that. As I've given evidence before, there were instances in which our members shot an MK or an Apla and even though you knew he was dead you'd still fire two extra shots to the head to make sure that he was dead.

ADV MOTATA: I just want clarity there. Whilst you were in prison you were not a trained APLA member, wouldn't I be correct in assuming that?

GEN VAN DER WESTHUIZEN: Yes, we knew the four pillars of the revolution, the strategy for people's war. The first pillar was manifested by MK, to a lesser extent by APLA. This was more aimed at the ANC/SACP alliance. Those were the soldiers of the revolutionary forces. We call them terrorists.
