A-Team (Chesterville, Durban)Explanation A well functioning health team needs to be comprised of a whole range of professionals such as nurses, doctors, therapists, lab technicians, pharmacists and dentists. At no time while we worked at the Bethesda was there ever such a team. This is problematic for the following reasons: MR WILLIAMSON: I received an order from Brigadier Goosen to prepare a plan for an attack on the London headquarters of the ANC. I was told that the orders for the attack came from the very top. I worked out first a list of officers who could participate in such an attack and it was finally ... MR HATTINGH: And it was put to you, if I recall correctly, I have not studied this again, but I recall that we consulted with a lady who was a member of the investigating team who investigated that murder and robbery, do you recall that? MR LOOTS: It was known that they didn't often stay for more than one evening at a specific place, for the night and this was information was of great value for the Security Branch. Take Five and Sadie Pule were members of the Special Operations Group of the ANC and they regularly sent weapons ... Where things really went wrong was in the workplace. I remember we had to just do hard labour and during my life there I worked in two quarries, I worked at the Landbouspan (Agricultural Team) and I worked at a job that I didn’t like, taking out seaweed because sometimes that stuff was rotten, so ... MR HATTINGH: And Mr Nortje, was he the leader of that team? The more junior officers, essentially the task team under the leadership of De Kock, believed that they had no choice but to execute the functions allocated to them. They certainly had no intention of disobeying an order from De Kock for fear of the possible repercussions. They had nothing to do ... MR VERSTER: That was the person responsible for the project but they would work in a team so the Regional Manager would give an introduction, the Co-ordinator would say something and the presentation would be done by Mr Slang van Zyl. MR MALINDI: Chairperson, all I'm trying to do is to take Mr Mokhele through some of the arguments he makes in his statement. I don't intend to spend very long on the statement and I'm introducing the witness for the benefit of the Committee and Chairperson, as I may have indicated, our team and ... Could you tell us who you were deployed with. You mentioned in your statement that you were with Mr Odendal who else was with you in your team? I also had experienced previous work, contract work with the Army in the late '60's soon after I joined the, what ultimately became the Medical Research Council. I was in a team that was to develop a safe cabin for mine-proof vehicles. At those times the V had not been invented, there were no ... This led to my appointment as one of a team of four senior South African Defence Force officers who were responsible for the negotiated compilation of the defence chapter to the Interim Constitution. Upon acceptance of the Interim Constitution and the subsequent establishment of the TEC, I was ... CHAIRPERSON: I want to welcome all of you to the hearing. The Commission team is exactly the same as it was yesterday so I will not introduce them again. MR VERSTER: When information comes from ground level and I'm thinking of a specific project which will not be touched upon here, because it is outside the country, we would give the information from a direct team of mine, through this Intelligence channel. It goes to Special Forces Head Office. ... MR KLOPPER: Chairperson, the Security Branch there was divided into an investigative part and then the tracing part. I was part of the tracing team. We handed them over to the investigative team. I cannot recall who the persons were there, but I was part of the team who traced them. What ... Since it remains integral, we therefore are of the opinion that there is a potential disadvantage, should this opportunity not be granted. I want to bring it to the attention of the Committee that I have spoken telephonically to Captain Holmes, who had been the Investigative Officer in the ... MR FOURIE: Mr de Kock and I - I was his driver that month, we were in Zeerust where we were visiting a team and Mr de Kock then told me that there had been a telephone call that we had to go to Krugersdorp because Col le Roux required assistance there with an incident. Police investigations into the Seven Day War: . Investigations of reported cases arising from the conflict were done by the Riot Investigation Unit under the command of Senior Superintendent Upton, consisting of 27 members. It is clear from the number of incidents that took place that only a very ... MR MALINDI: Chairperson, all I'm trying to do is to take Mr Mokhele through some of the arguments he makes in his statement. I don't intend to spend very long on the statement and I'm introducing the witness for the benefit of the Committee and Chairperson, as I may have indicated, our team and ... MR ROSSOUW: Mr Oosthuizen, at the incident where Mr Piet Ntuli died in this bomb explosion, could you just tell the Committee, at that stage you were with the Special Investigation Team in KwaNdebele, what did you do there and what was the purpose of your investigation there? |
