Special Report Transcript Episode 25, Section 4, Time 25:52

Jack Cronje and four other security policemen, Jacques Hechter, Wouter Mentz, Paul van Vuuren and Roelf Venter are applying for amnesty for more than 40 murders. These were mostly Vlakplaas operations. Vlakplaas and the death squad activities of the police have been the focus of the most recent exposes of state atrocities. The Defence Force somehow has escaped the scrutiny. General Mortimer went into considerable detail explaining the SADF structures. Ears in the audience pricked up when Mortimer started talking about special forces. These included the 5 reconnaissance regiments and one of the most notorious organisations in the apartheid state [the Civil Cooperation Bureau].
