DECISION

In his application for amnesty the Applicant appears to   have intended to apply for amnesty for a whole range of unspecified acts.  Only   one act is specified in detail namely the training and advice to members of   the Inkatha Freedom Party ("IFP") at Entabene in or about 1993.  The   Applicant was afforded an opportunity to clarify his application and to specify   any other acts, omissions or offences but he failed to respond.

On the papers before the Committee, we are satisfied that   the Applicant meets with the formal requirements for the granting of amnesty   in respect of his participation in the unlawful military training of members   of the IFP.  The Committee is further satisfied that this was an act associated   with a political objective in the course of the conflicts of the past and that   the Applicant has made a full disclosure of all relevant facts relating thereto.

Accordingly amnesty is GRANTED   to Jan Willem Janse Van Rensburg for offences directly associated with the unlawful   military training of members of the IFP at Entabene in or about 1993.

DATED AT CAPE TOWN THIS         DAY OF             2001.
