But the biggest question for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is to establish who was responsible. Who made the bomb? Who sent it? Ultimately, who ordered it? // I can’t remember the exact date but in about 1988, I think it was, the Zimbabwean authorities came to me and they said, we have information that you are on the South African government hit list. They said we believe that there may be some attempt by commandos to kill you. It was one of the moments, I remember when I was called into his office and told that the government of South Africa wishes to kill you. That bomb was so sophisticated that it could come through the post, registered mail from South Africa to Zimbabwe and not explode till I opened it. There was a great deal of intelligence and sophistication, the sophistication that only lay within units such as the CCB.
