A-Team (Chesterville, Durban)

Explanation
The Chesterville A-Team, a state-sponsored vigilante group composed of Inkatha supporters, was set up by the Security Branch in 1985 in Chesterville, Durban, to counter the activities of the UDF, COSAS and other civic organisations in the area. Political tensions between UDF supporters and members of the Chesterville A-Team frequently resulted in attacks against UDF and ANC supporters.

DR BASSON: I understand it at this stage, after I tried to contact the legal representatives this morning, that Mr Cilliers will not be available tomorrow and would perhaps be available on Friday. As I understand it the other members of the team will also not be available on these two days.
