Age

Description
He was an MK operative who was shot dead in an ambush at Alldays, Transvaal, near the Botswana border, on 10 July 1986 by a joint team comprising SADF Special Forces and Far Northern Transvaal Security Branch members. Fourteen Security Branch operatives, including the divisional commander, applied for amnesty. Nine of these applications were refused (AC/1999/0176).

This week they visited the shooting scene to try to understand what for them remain senseless ...
On Monday Matthew Selhwana was the first person to ask for amnesty for his role in the deaths of 6 ANC cadres who attempted to infiltrate the country from Botswana in 1986. Selhwana was an informer for the Pietersburg security branch during the eighties.
