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.

MS GOBODO-MADIKIZELA: So clearly you were not the person to head a team of people who were going to make an arrest in a crowd situation when you had no previous experience of crowd control?
MRS CRICHTON: Just a short question, Mr Card?. In Paragraph 7 of your Affidavit, you speak about another team of men who were given the task of investigating the King William’s Town Police Station attack. Two parts to my question. The first one. Did you know who they were at all ?
The name, Zweliyazuzu, means nothing to me, but when we arrested Mzwandile, Mzimkulu Gwentshe, there was another very young brother who was still school-going and I presume he was Zweliyazuza. Mzwandile and Mzimkulu were arrested in connection with acts of sabotage as they were members of the ...
Mr Links perhaps just in conclusion, you have thrown quite a bit of light on a situation which we came across in Upington where our investigating team were told when they went to the Upington police station to look at the records and documents, they were told that the documents relating to the ...
MR KLOPPER: If I recall correctly, C10 was divided into three sections. De Kock had one team and Baker had another. If I recall correctly, all the authorisations for funding was obtained under the name Excalibur, so I cannot tell you pertinently that Lieutenant Tait was in command of it or ...
MR HATTINGH: These persons who were dousing the first floor with petrol, were they different members than those that were dousing the ground floor with petrol, or did the same team work on the both floors?
MR COETZEE: Yes, the following morning Chris Olckers and his team arrived there and there were many reporters.
MR DE KOCK: Chairperson, I personally, and it's my personal opinion, did not like Mr Mamasela, he usually followed his own head. He was not a person who could work in a team, he was not a team-worker. That is how I experienced him. At times he was mean with specifically the askaris, but he got ...
MR MORRIS: Yes. He then accused me again of playing for a team which he doesn't like.
From there, it would be the work of the intelligence team to see to it what time can this be carried out, and whatsoever, and what appropriate means of attack can be used in such an attack.
Finally all my colleagues, Sandi, Maya, Xundu, the staff under the Regional, the statement taker, the staff under Vic Dunowani ... at very short notice to make this hearing possible and I am lucky and proud to have a team of your calibre.
ADV STEENKAMP: Chairperson, I have no evidence but the request of Ms Cambanis on behalf of the victims, I just want to place it on record what the latest information is regarding Mr Kentane. The latest information which I could obtain was that Mr Kentane, that he during the de Kock investigation ...
MR WEBSTER: And if I understand you correctly after you had identified or at least spotted the vehicle, it was then expected that Breytenbach and his team would then take over and do the necessary?
MR KGASI: You have further testified that there were times for example, when you went to Middelburg, which I take it that by then you left him with other members of your team. Now in your absence, who was in charge?
MR HEWIT: You see what I am saying to you it looks like two of the members of the team which murdered Nate Gomede both have problems with motor vehicles and the police. So what I am suggesting to you was there ever any kind of criminal theft syndicate amongst those two? I am asking you do you know ...
MR VISSER: So it's on that assumption, certainly. Thank you. You say just thereafter that you then contacted the D'Oliviera team and you were able to meet Capt Holmes and you also obtained Vlakplaas records, and then you said you went to see them, and I just want to ask you who precisely are you ...
MS MTANGA: You were present when the applicant gave evidence that you were amongst a team of people who went to visit his home at Paul Pietersburg?
MR LAMEY: And then Mr Mathebula says, and I would just like to hear what your recollection is about, he says that he recalls that on a particular day, Chris Putter was part of your team. He arrived there with a letter that was intercepted by W H Tensit at ...(indistinct) and this had regard with a ...
MR HURWITZ: These were statements recorded by Capt Andrew Gordon Liesk of the Attorney-General's Investigation Team. It's undated. It's a statement comprising of approximately 34 pages, in English.
MR BELLINGAN: No. My handwriting samples, both left and right-handed, were taken by the A-G investigating team as well as the investigating team of Col Kritzinger.
