We sent our agent recruiter to whom we had given a letter to take to the people in Botswana. He came back with a written response giving us the go ahead in the elimination of Mr Lukhele. MR HATTINGH: Were there no people in the houses or buildings who might have seen him? MR NEL: Now if we may move on to paragraph 10. Immediately you say there that originally you were under the impression that four people were killed, but having heard the evidence and having read the other applications, you realised that only three members, or three people were in fact killed in ... MR DU PLESSIS: And it was not strange for you to receive instructions from the people from the Natal Security Branch? There were many during these dark years who in their different situations did what they could to bring about peace and justice. Apart from those in civil society, you will find such people even in institutions like the SA Police, the KwaZulu Police and the military. They played such roles at great ... Please proceed. --- I am not going to start with the Seven Days War, I am going to start with the events that took place just prior to the attack. The violence started in 1986 when Inkatha was forcing the residents to join it. They were attacking people, burning down houses, looting ... youth played an important part in political activity in the township at this time. Cosas was formed in 1980 and also provided an organisational home for the young people of Alex. It also played an important role in the establishment of the Alexander Youth Congress. Members of ACO and Cosas ... MR RAMMUSI: I only know that it's Mikakumbani Street. When I arrived at this policeman's house I threw the handgrenade through the window. The front door was open and there were elderly people in the house so I had to avoid them and throw the grenade into an empty room and for political ... CHAIRPERSON: Yes. And people were shooting at you too, so if you got up, if you didn't hide, if you got up, what would have happened to you if you exposed yourself? M SIKO: I use to hear the people saying it is the Gadaffi groups and the Comrades. Strydom comes now and he makes a statement and in some instances, this is contradictory to other statements and there are issues where the issues differ and my learned colleague has said that this had taken place 12 years ago and in that sense, one can expect that memories might fail these people. ... MR SIBANYONI: Then Vlakplaas continued with its normal work, tracing people who infiltrated the country. They gained this impression after having heard the report of the bombings on the East Rand and after their discussion with the said du Bruyn. They only learnt after the event that their actions, save for the bombings on the Est Rand, turned out to be an isolated incident. They say that they ... MR MDLULWA: It was the people that were appointed by the High Command. Mr Mbali talks of six people. Now the two applicants before you now can shed no light on that and clearly if it happened, we certainly can't deny it. We would say that, with respect, it's very unlikely because if the Lesotho policeman who was the informer knew that what he was doing was ... DR ALLY: Now we've heard that this period was a particularly tense period in the area, that people were fearing that the situation was going to perhaps get out of control, your son before this event of the 22nd of July 1990, was he in any way involved in any of the events which were taking place in ... In the result all the applicants are GRANTED amnesty in respect of any offences and/or delicts flowing from and directly connected with the explosion of a car bomb in a Hi-Ace motor vehicle in Gaberone, Botswana during April 1987 in which explosion people were killed and injured and property was ... In considering the relevant criteria set out in section 20(3), we are, moreover, not satisfied that the killings were authorised by Applicants' superiors. In our view, despite the position which might have obtained earlier, De Kock did not have the necessary authority to order such radical ... We received statements from people who confirmed under oath that Mr Piet Ntuli was involved with certain murders and other intimidations as well as assaults and as Colonel Kendall had said, he was involved with illegal arms as well as stolen vehicles. Section 20(3)(c) refers to the legal and factual nature of the act. Murder can never be regarded as negligible.
