The amnesty committee does not regard these discrepancies to be of such a material effect that the applicants could be disbelieved in their evidence. He was given a specific task of being an RS agent that is a Republic of South Africa policeman who infiltrates and not an ordinary informer. After the Opel Kadett left with the three people Moshoaliba met Coetzee again and reported to him that they had departed to Swaziland. This incident present a clear case where the command structure from the top, downwards accepted responsibility and confirmed the instruction given to eliminate the SANSCO activists. The applicants have satisfied the committee that the murder of K P Shabangu, Louis alias Thabo Mohale and Derek Mashobane was an act associated with a political objective in terms of the criteria set out in the provisions of Section 20 of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act, No 34 of 1995. The rest of the applicants namely, JUDGE A WILSON ADV N SANDI MR J B SIBANYONI ?? 2 /... /... 12 /... 12
