DECISION

                                                                                            

The applicant, a member of the PAC, applied for amnesty for being in unlawful possession of arms and ammunition on the 21st April 1982 near Saambou Bridge on the Limpopo Border.

He supplied information that he obtained the weapons from Andrew Moeti, the deputy Commander of APLA, then based at Gaborone.  The weapons were destined to be used in the armed struggle against the RSA government.  He was arrested soon after entering the RSA and was found in possession of an AK-47 and a 9mm luger pistol.

The Committee is satisfied that the offence was associated with a political objective and that the requirements for amnesty have been met.

Amnesty is GRANTED in respect of the illegal possession of an AK-47 and a 9mm luger pistol and ammunition during April 1982 at Saambou Bridge, district of Pietersburg.
