there were some other criminal activities which happened to be perpetuated by the very same system amongst our communities turning our MK cadres and APLA cadres into askaries and all those things. We happen to live in this era. The situation came to change not because of their wishful thinking ...

MR FOURIE: Mr Chairperson, I was part of C2 who did research on MK and APLA members, we did have photo albums of refugees and we also had names of these people that we tried to identify, and I also had an interest in that and I knew that there were names of refugees in that office.

... And it’s very important for us in this country to understand what this is about.

"... If I could just follow that up, I hear you. I hear the difficulties of operational command, we heard that from APLA themselves and we heard it now, how difficult that became as the struggle intensified as more and more people were recruited, training became less intensive and more difficult ...

... he should come to Zeerust or to Potchefstroom and talk to them because he is now creating a monster. He is going to allow PAC guys to infiltrate, APLA guys to infiltrate, because they will not be able to arrest every group that comes in. They would have to let one go, arrest others and they ...

BRIG LOOTS: Western Transvaal, because of its geographic position was responsible for the co-ordinating of MK and APLA activities in Botswana and also infiltrations from Botswana and for that reason Brigadier Cronje, perhaps I had better knowledge of the geographic area of Wade Adams and so forth, ...

MR DE KOCK: Yes, this morning I tried to remember, because somewhere somebody should have been able to say, either from the organisations, APLA, or whatever, would have been able to say who this man was, and I started wondering whether he perhaps wasn't a Zambian citizen or an agent.

... that was in October, I went into Botswana. And my husband took us there with my two children. We stayed for about two months and it is Pamla of Apla who was very instrumental in saying to me weigh your options Sheila, are you sure you want to go in ...

MR NKUMANDA: I met Kleintjie as I'd already explained, two weeks before the operation and he highlighted a problem that was existing within the APLA structures at that moment which was the shortage of weapons. He told me that our soft targets our police stations and the policemen who were residing ...

... Judgment delivered at his trial where evidence was apparently led by the applicant that, or in a statement made, that it was not the policy of the APLA at that stage to use violence and injure people during the course of such ...
