Special Report Transcript Episode 37, Section 2, Time 01:26

He planned acts of terror from his home. He also used the house as a hiding place for terrorists. He was also involved in strikes and boycotts. Myself, Capt Hechter, Mamasela and Captain Crafford as well as a certain Bafana on a particular morning were driving in my official vehicle until we were some distance from Tsele’s home. We sent Mamasela and Bafana armed with AKs to investigate the house and to determine whether any terrorists were present there. While we were waiting for them the instructions were that if there were any people in the house they had to return and inform us of the state of affairs. While we were there we heard shots. Mamasela and Bafana returned and informed us that they had seen Tsele sitting in front of the television and that they had shot him. This was contrary to the instruction which I had given them. The instruction was not that they were supposed to shoot the person.
