DECISION

The applicant joined Umkhonto weSizwe in 1986. He then illegally left South Africa to undergo training in Angola. Thereafter, in 1989, he returned to South Africa and trained MK members in many places in the Eastern Cape and Natal regions. The trainees were trained in how to conduct ambush, sabotage and combat work which also involved secrecy and information gathering.

After having considered the application and all relevant documentation the Committee is satisfied that the applicant complies with all the requirements for amnesty.

Accordingly amnesty is GRANTED to the applicant for all contraventions of the Internal Security Act, 74 of 1982 as amended which may be directly connected to the above acts.

Signed at Cape Town on this the 23rd day of February 2000.
