Special Report Transcript Episode 64, Section 5, Time 18:44

Last year the Truth Commission heard numerous stories of human rights violations committed in Bloemfontein by the security police and their surrogates in gangs like the Three Millions and The Eagles. But this year has seen very few policemen or the gangsters they handled coming forward to tell the truth about repression of political activity in the area. One exception is Nelson Ngo whose amnesty application was heard this past week. His case has been postponed twice before, but this week the Amnesty Committee was determined to proceed.
