I think there is only one way to go and that is to go to the Commission. We have been treated very well by the Commission. They stand for reconciliation.

The Truth Commission is facing a crisis of credibility right now.

Phemba Mpanza faces the difficult choice of either living in Chesterville after being labelled an impimpi or trying to make a new life elsewhere. He decided to stay. Dan moved out years ago. They agreed that the troubled community is still not addressed. Even today, Angelina Magwaza, is still too ... I want to request the Truth Commission to investigate the A-Team and try to find out as to in reality who were behind the A-Team, who were sending them to conduct this reign of terror?

However the TRC excavation team could not find any evidence. The Amnesty Committee moves to Bloemfontein this coming week and the Human Rights Violations Committee will sit in Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape.
