Operation Zero ZeroExplanation "That's correct, but the operation started after the conversation with Col van Rensburg." MR RAUTENBACH: Now what I would like to know from you, Mr Bosch, is that when you discussed this matter with Mr de Kock, you certainly would have discussed certain aspects such as how this operation will be executed, who will wrap the parcel, who will write the addresses on it. ... They phoned at home. They explained to them and said your child is in this way, he is sick, and we want you to come and sign for a consent for an operation and the treatment. My parents asked to say that refer that person here, because that is too far and there is no ... MR DU TOIT: Yes, he did, he told me that it was an authorised, approved operation from Head Office. ... light was switched off. I stayed for an hour after that and I was sure that even if there could be anything around, I will be able to carry out my operation quite successfully and I threw in the hand grenade and I disappeared in the dark of the ... ... which had to be studied by the Security Branch. As they entered the building, Applicant and his colleagues were shot at and had to abort the operation. A window and one downpipe were damaged during the ... MR LAMEY: I may be wrong but my recollection of Mr Coetzee's evidence is indeed that the black members were not present during the whole, or were not aware of this turning action during this whole operation, if I understand his evidence correctly. On 23rd September 1991 he received instructions from his Regional Commander, one Mandla, to execute an operation to fund raise for APLA which was experiencing financial problems.

I was operated because I was sick. MR BEESLAAR: I can only state that I was not inebriated because Col de Kock's instructions were that no liquor should be consumed before or during an operation. My share was remote but due to my minor share, I nonetheless respected the instructions of Mr de Kock and obeyed them as such. MR LAX: Yes, I understand that being the motive of the operation, but I want you to turn to page, do you have the documents in front of you, page 3?

Robert and another comrade, whose name I cannot recall, earlier left petrol on the school premises. That evening Robert, Matthew Lecordier, Naziem and Marson Sharpley and I got together and went to the school to carry out the operation. Mr Vermeulen, you are an applicant for amnesty in this matter and you've given your full co-operation to the TRC, is that correct? The first applicant stood guard outside the bank. At first the operation worked according to how he had planned. But whilst the others were inside the police appeared and foiled the robbery. MR RAATH: As far as I was concerned from the time that I was involved in the operation he gave his cooperation and I had no problems with him. ... in Northern Natal. I think basically this was in conjunction with what was happening in the Southern Natal as you had spoken at large around the Operation Butterfly. The issue was that all the activities were concentrated only on the southern part of Natal and nothing was happening in ... MR RAS: No. He would have known that it would be used in order to kill people, but he wasn't informed specifically about the operation. ... I was not there", I had to be reminded yesterday that Mr Molefi - that is contrary to the source that you claim that you had, came to Kimberly for Operation Barcelona because he had to mediate between that problem, between COSAS and the Youth League - nothing about the grenade. And then I said ... |
