Inkatha

One day it was on a Monday, we were preparing ourselves to write the examinations. The IFP members came. All of them were Zulu's. Mr Cebekulu was still alive at that time. Cebekulu was well known among Inkatha circles. He had his own taxi's.

... Many family members and neighbours were killed. One of the girl mother died and some other family members were injured and they were attacking the Inkatha families therefore as an Inkatha we had to pay revenge because when those others were attacked and injured, I thought I could be injured at ...

MR MTSHALI: It was said this SDU was going to be in charge of Block F. But those who were present said they were not enough SDU members in Block F, and therefore they need their own Self Defence Unit because Block F is facing Zonkezizwe which place is an Inkatha area.

MR KHUBEKA: There are many people, Inkatha people, who used to die in my presence at Boipatong, people such as Bongali Batha, who died at Boipatong, therefore that was the reason why I went to Boipatong, seeing that the ANC and Inkatha had been at war since long ago and the people of Kwamadala did ...

... who used to come frequenting my house even before the 25th, and they will come harass me at my place. And shortly after they leave my house an Inkatha youth will come to harass my kids when I am away at work. This took place four times. The first thing I want to say is that the police came ...

MR BERGER: Volume 28, page 3229, line 7. First question to Mr Khosa: "Mr Khosa, is it correct that you are the Transvaal leader of the Inkatha Freedom Party's Youth Brigade, is that correct?" Answer: "That is correct." You never knew that, it was news to you?

MR MONONI: We were going to use the firearms to defend the community against attacks by Inkatha and vigilantes and other people who were troubling the community.

... our reference number for ANC, then the numbers underneath that, PN 666, that would be a copy to the source file of the agent, PNV 22/29/16 was the Inkatha file, so there would have been a copy made for that, for some reason, it will be in the contents of the report, I can't comment ...

I refer to my clients I will be referring to them. Both of them will testify that at the time of the death of the deceased they were members of the Inkatha Freedom Party, although they would not describe themselves as being politically active at that stage. Can you comment on ...

I remember one day on our way to Mazibuko there was this group of people who were standing further up, busy shooting. We went to Mazibuko and on arrival there was seemingly an Inkatha meeting. We wanted to disrupt that meeting because we knew what the agenda was.

... general situation, and particularly the conflict in this particular area, involving members or supporters of the African National Congress and the Inkatha Freedom Party, has been dealt with quite ...

I left the place and I was ungovernable then. I took my gun and I went back where I was injured and I thought I was going to console myself with the fact that I had been injured and injured for the truth by Inkatha against the community.

Were they active in one political party? Were they members? --- Yes, they belonged to Inkatha.

MR SIPHO: And you would agree then that the HLH compound was inhabited by members of Inkatha Freedom Party?

MR NORTJE: Well, basically to anybody who wanted to buy the arms. They didn't really care to who they sold these weapons. Members of Inkatha bought these weapons, ANC members bought the weapons, we asked them specifically and they said that they didn't really care who bought the weapons.

MR SIBIYA: Mr Sithole was a full time member of Inkatha, so much so that he could not hide his activities or his membership. I could say he was a staunch member of the IFP, so much so that at times when he walks passed us, he would call us all sorts of names.

"We did see him on one occasion where he sold hand guns and rifles to Inkatha Freedom Party supporters."
