Vlakplaas

MNR HUGO: "En net om die rekord duidelik te kry, nie mnr de Kock of enige lede van Vlakplaas het sitting gehad op Trevits nie."

MR BENNETTS: That is how I understood it. Whether they were just used just for information or if they were used for actual operations, as they were from the Vlakplaas issue, to me it was one and the same, it was a chap who had been turned around and was now being used by our guys.

MR KENDALL: As far as I knew Joe Mamasela was an Askari who had been transferred from Vlakplaas to Division Northern Transvaal.

Applicant was an MK soldier who had been kidnapped and became an askari. He was ordered to identify members of MK who came back to the RSA after they had received training abroad. His commander at Vlakplaas was Captain De Kock.

In 1982 I was stationed in Soweto. Col J.C. Coetzee who was then a Captain, was the Commander of Vlakplaas. At a stage earlier in 1982 he was busy with investigation and detection of terrorists in the Soweto environment. That was also my work in Soweto and it led to the fact that he and I began ...

... Schoon was not an applicant in this application. De Kock, in turn, through the usual line of command, involved other members of his unit at Vlakplaas in the operation, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth ...

The Applicant was a member of the Security Police and at a stage a member of the Vlakplaas Unit.

MR BOTHA: Negative Mr Chairperson. I would just like to explain that Mr Ramatala's explanation concerning rewards for the askaris of Vlakplaas, is not as it was the normal practice.

... that Mr Willemse who was, I believe, the most junior ranking person involved in the execution of the operation, he was a sergeant at the time at Vlakplaas, the same applies as far as he's a foot soldier is concerned, Mr Chairman. I therefore submit, Mr Chairman, that this Committee can be ...

... us that time. I noticed that some of the names of the people who were part of the interrogating team have featured in other incidences, like the Vlakplaas incident and so forth. It was not surprising that their names popped up there. These men were sort of way above the law. They were way ...

MR VISSER: So it's an insinuation? Alright. I just want to place on record that he left Vlakplaas and left the South African Police in December 1981.

Like these statements that have been made on TV by Mr Mamasela who - who has been part of the Vlakplaas security network. I was watching him on TV when he confessed that Niewoudt was beating- in fact was responsible for the beating of the PEBCO 3 who disappeared in the ‘80’s

... commuters in Soweto and other places. In those who raped women and killed innocent children, all these including the Gestapo murder squads of Vlakplaas, the Mamaselas, De Kocks, Coetzees and those of the killing fields of Natal. Including all that, we find that all of them "hulle is ...

MR LAX: Well then they may have then brought in a specialised unit like Vlakplaas or someone else, to do that.

MR VISSER: And he was at Vlakplaas?

... Mr Chairman, I don't think it will be forgery, it might be fraud, but not forgery. It was a genuine passport that these people produced at Vlakplaas. At other hearings that evidence was placed before the Amnesty Committee. They actually built up a history for the person with his ...
