people's war

Explanation
a popular national rebellion of both trained soldiers and ordinary civilians during the mid- to late 80s. The strategy, promoted by the ANC, involved integrating armed MK combatants with mass organisations inside South African townships, and rendering the townships ungovernable through attacks on the security forces and other representatives of the state.

I think it was a waste of taxpayers' money for them to assemble as many people as they did, when in fact as I say, we invited them to come and fetch Mr Maleka.
In all the cases of the robbery the targets were private individuals. They were not political targets. It is highly unlikely that a trained MK operative would attack innocent people and rob them to pursue a political objective. Also in Section 20(3)(f), one must look at the directness and ...
The Northern Transvaal Security Branch under the command of the 4th Applicant obtained the assistance of Vlakplaas in their search for MK Operatives who were active in the killing of a number of people, including policemen, and other acts of terror.
The applicant, Phila Martin Dolo, was at all material times a cadre of the Azanian People's Liberation Army, APLA, the military wing of the Pan African Congress, PAC, having received training as such under its auspices outside of the Republic. He was tried and convicted on 5 December 1994 in the ...
CHAIRPERSON: Have you had an occasion of studying the application form as it stands before us, Mr Molohlanye? You know we don't want people to be shoddily represented. I must say I am a little upset that it doesn't look like this matter again has been properly prepared for presentation.
It emerged from the evidence  that the Applicant not only discussed the planning of attacks on military targets, he provided or arranged for the provision of the explosives and detonators used in the construction of car bombs.  Unfortunately, no evidence was led before us as to what the ...
ADV SANDI: And you mentioned that you want a tombstone on behalf of the people who were killed.
JUDGE DE JAGER: We could declare him a victim if the offence or delict was associated with a political objective. Can you people assure us of that supposition?
MR ROSSOUW: At any point did you find yourself in a situation where you had to confront people or possibly use your weapon?
CHAIRPERSON: Isn't the question simply, does the ANC accept responsibility? The purpose of that section as I understand it, is where there is a possibility of a finding being made and the people concerned do not want such a finding, they can make representations. If the purpose of the letter is ...
The applicant testified that as far as possible, the limpet mines were timed to go off at times when there were unlikely to be people around so as to try and avoid or minimise casualties and loss of life.  He said that unfortunately a person was injured in the explosion at the Pinetown Post ...
MS MAYA: You were one of the people who were detained after the Ngquza incident. Is that so?
MR MATHIBA: We do not know, because he doesn't speak to people. But we hope that he will give us a piece of information. He transported him with his van to Sebong Hospital. He should just tell us what happened to our child.
Applicants Fokazi, Ndabeni, Makhura and the following five people, namely Nozulu, McGregor, Nxala, Joe and Sebenzile were members of the Self Defence Unit (SDU) under the control of the African National Congress (ANC). They were operating at Phola Park and Thokoza in Alberton. They received ...
The facts in this application are very similar to those in that of Mdu John Msibi (Case No. 0624/96). The applicant herein was approached by the same people who had approached Mdu John Msibi, namely one Msibi and a constable Mkhwanasi. He also adds a certain Pienaar, who, like Mkhwanasi, was ...
He testified that on the evening in question, he was at his home when he heard people shouting "Inkatha". He left his home carrying a sjambok towards the direction from where the noise came and in an open veld, he found a large group of about 500 people shouting "Let's kill them".
During the course of the day they were not successful to trace the whereabouts of the target and his vehicle but later that evening they saw his car parked outside a pub. The target (Mdo) was busy talking to a person on the pavement. Flores who was travelling in his kombi with tinted windows ...
CHAIRPERSON: I don't think I'm going to allow that. We are concerned with the amnesty application by people who have applied before us. We are not going to pass judgment on Mr Taylor, we're not going to make an assessment on Mr Taylor's achievements or demerits. Do you understand?
At sometime in 1991 he befriended two Mozambicans who were employed at a farm. (They, incidentally, were co-accused of the applicant at the time). They complained to him about being ill-treated by the farmer and having lost the work. He reported this to Mohale who, he said, told him to proceed ...
Thereafter, on a date the applicant cannot remember, but between 30 November 1993 and 2 December 1993, a number of people gathered at Mr Mfayela's house. Mr Mfayela and an induna from Wosiyana planned an attack on the Sonkombo area. The attackers left in a number of vehicles and proceeded to ...
