Operation Zero ZeroExplanation MR VISSER: Alright. Would that be a fund or a payment when an MK cadre was going to start a new operation? "That's correct, but the operation started after the conversation with Col van Rensburg." 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. 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? Page 3 forms part of your amnesty application, dated the 25th of April 1997. The date is on the previous page, the page after that. MR GALELA: What I would like to say is that I did not live peacefully because what the police did then was that they had a, they conducted an operation known as Hot Pursuit and even then they said that there were many ways to skin a cat. This is what the Boers said. Thereafter they killed the ... ... 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 ... election campaign that I endured a lot of stress to the point where I actually suffered a heart-attack, and in 1990 I had to undergo a heart by-pass operation. The result of that election is now history today, and I realised that the political dispensation in this country had changed irrevocably; ... MR RAUTENBACH: I want to ask you Mr Mostert, you reach this point. It was the second time that he had been shocked, it’s the second time that he had jerked and still there is no co-operation. How would it proceed now? What was in your mind? What were you thinking? 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. The second announcement is that if you are in possession of a cellphone, please switch that phone off now as it can be very disturbing particularly for the witnesses. Thank you very much for your co-operation. This notwithstanding, the elements of mastery, domination and compulsion remained central to its operation and the policies and legislation which gave it substance. The parliamentary opposition for much of this time, the United Party, had policies which differed in style but not in substance ... 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. 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. 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. ... 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 ... ... 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. MR BIZOS: "It would have the effect that particularly the youth would vote for them. I reported to Commandant Roodt to this effect. Roodt then also, himself, took control of this operation and saw to it that the funds would not go to Mr Clive Derby-Lewis.". "We dropped the IFP Chairlady and we discussed that we should indeed have this operation. We returned home, the three of us. As we were at Nklasagazi before we crossed the bridge, people from Montabela should know this area, we met some women who were standing along the road. |
