My instruction on the specific incident - maybe this is another incident we're talking about here - but in ... MR BOTHA: Chairperson, in 1986 there were already existing structures at police head office and they functioned and they functioned under the name of Trevits: Anti-Revolutionary Information Task Team and from time to time there were requests from Trevits with regards to certain information needs ... 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 ... 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? EXAMINATION BY MR CORNELIUS: Thank you Mr Chairman. Mr Vermeulen, you have made an application and handed it in in Cape Town and you gave your full co-operation to the Investigative Team of the TRC. MR HATTINGH: And were there members of the South African Task Team that were asked to be of assistance? The Applicant had accompanied some members of Colonel Eugene de Kock's team to Lesotho. He was merely an observer of the operation and took no active part in the incidents. There was an exchange of fire between other members of de Kock's team and some ANC members. It transpired that three ... MS KHAMPEPE: Mr Maxam, what was an A-team? In some of your documents you have referred us to a unit called the A-team. MR MORRIS: Yes. He then accused me again of playing for a team which he doesn't like. 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 ... "Foreign Affairs referred to the success that was accomplished in the recent past in the Lesotho matter by a small high-profile or high level project team by RSA officials." MR DU PLESSIS: You will agree with me that Mr Beeslaar was not part of the interrogation team. Also to our Interpreters who are here today. We are very pleased that we have been sent a very powerful team. Welcome to you Pakamai Ntchongwane who is going to be doing the English/Xhosa interpretation and the other way, and we are really glad to have you back. You have been doing impeccable ... Perhaps the group of people who should be thanked very specially is the investigators. We have mentioned them before, Mark, Phumla and Madeleine and Lucky and Zoelpha, but most importantly Zenariah Bahrens who is the head of the investigating unit in the Western Cape region for her unflinching ... It was put to me that I had to put together a team to do this operation. There was no way that I could pick Mr Winter to form part of this operation to work under me. MR VISSER: Yes, Mr Chairman, we will obviously as we’ve done in the past fall in with any arrangements which you make, bearing in mind that there are consultations which I have to do in the evenings of course. So frankly, we would prefer not to sit too late but we’re absolutely in your hands, ... The conflict in Natal has grown out of the ethno-national politics engendered by apartheid. The specific context of the conflict is a complex one, involving a range of issues related to specific localities and struggles. In rural areas, the threat of removals by the state during the 1980s had led ... CHAIRPERSON: We are reverting to the hearing of the application relating to the attempted murder of Dirk Coetzee and the killing of Bheki Mlangeni. Before we commence I would place on record that we have a new legal team and I would ask them please to put themselves on record and to speak a ... MR BOOYENS:: Surely your legal team have gone with you through your statement before you testified yesterday? Because you were actually being led on it. MR VIKTOR: Yes, I enquired with the investigative team of the then Attorney-General, in order to determine which matters they were investigating against me, and certain facts were made known to me. |
