A-Team (Chesterville, Durban)Explanation Showing 201 to 220 of 843 First Page•Previous Page 7 •8 •9 •10 •11 •12 •13 •14 •15 Next Page•Last PageCHAIRPERSON: Thank you. It remains for me to thank you, gentlemen, and I say so comfortably, because I have been saying gentlemen ever since I started, except only for yesterday when there was one lady who came and it speaks to what you have been asked by Hugh Lewin. I do not, of course, ... MR FIHLA: I am presently with Defence Intelligence,I am part of the collection team under Major General Steenkamp. The Soviet must be stopped in Southern Africa. We need your help as a team to stand up against the evil "Mr Chairman I have already testified before the Amnesty Committee and before the investigation team and I have confirmed that certain instructions were given with the approval of the Minister..." ADV PRINSLOO: And is it correct that subsequent to investigation, there was a group of persons from the ANC who had entered the country as an assassin team that you had identified and which was convicted and became known later as the S v Obet Msina & Others? ... (transcriber's interpretation) Then we asked Mrs Msimang, "Mrs Msimang, you say Xola was a hero?", "Yes". "You've seen your heroes, the security force?" "Yes". "They'll try by all means to come to their houses to tell their parents what happened to them, now what kind of a hero are you referring to, while the hero was still ... MR THOBEJANE: We had a Reconnaissance Unitor a Reconnaissance Team that was a sub-Unit from the main Unit. Its duty wasto gather all the information that might be used or that we might use as theUnit so the Reconnaissance Team during their reconnaissance, they have gatheredsuch information because ... the attacker, they had a team. So therefore Mr Nortje, the conclusion is that Gen Engelbrecht says he, just like other people, was misled by your team at Vlakplaas as to the true facts. MR MARAIS: Mr Chairman, I really only began to become interested in politics in 1980 while I was at university in Bloemfontein. That year there was a general election, and we as students were recruited to help with this election. Former Minister Kobie Coetzee stood there for the National Party ... MR ZEELIE: That is correct, Mr Chairperson, but there was talk, or we were told that we were not supposed to talk to anybody and then the bomb exploded and it was via my wife that I was told that I had to be at my house at a certain stage and then members of the Amnesty Committee, from the ... MR VERMEULEN: The team that moved out with us, Mr Chairperson. We thank Sollie Terblanche and his team for supplying the sound which has enabled you to hear the proceedings and we thank you to hear the team of interpreters who have allowed you to hear it in your own language. They carry out very demanding work, very tiring and very important and we thank them ... And I need to say that we do not and cannot address you fully on what took place in the programme because we do not know. That is for you to decide. Nor can we address you fully on what are the issues that are going to come before you. Nor what matters will be the subject of cross-examination by ... MRS GCABASHE: Maybe I should put it to you, I’ll put it slightly differently. You used to go to meetings that were called, structured meetings that were called. Now in terms of the action you were supposed to take, was it decided at any of those meetings that team (a), comprising of these people, ... "... I also said, it should read he also said, that is you, also said he once heard from the late Mothiba that Warrant Officer Coetzee and his team once arrested a lady ..." This is what the Chairman tried to explain. I want to give you the full picture. Now, here Captain Kleyn jumps from a vehicle - he confronts those people. The same people known to members of this team, who you were commanding, they identified them as the attackers. And suddenly he started ... "Deception on a spectacular scale is precisely what happened in this case. In consequence the first, and perhaps only, opportunity to hold individuals in senior positions accountable for attempts to eliminate political opponents by violent means has been lost. Furthermore, serious allegations are ... Secondly I would like to draw the committee's attention to the Caprivi hearing where Mr Maritz and Mr Penzhorn appeared and there the committee allowed the defence to have submissions which would commence with the attorney, switching to the senior counsel and then finally being concluded by the ... MR WILLIAMSON: No, Mr Chairman, it isn't incorrect. As I have already said about the so-called final briefing, it was not merely a final briefing in that everybody sat and heard everything.
