But Col Erwee made enquiries at the investigating team of the Attorney-General and they said that they were investigating a case of conspiracy to commit murder against us, and that is why I am here. MR DA SILVA: I've asked the witness if he can indicate when was the first time he consulted with my legal friends, the legal team on the other side, my learned friends.

ADV PRINSLOO: And is it correct that subsequent to investigation, there was a group of persons from the ANC who had entered the country as an assassin team that you had identified and which was convicted and became known later as the S v Obet Msina & Others? ... (transcriber's interpretation) MR FIHLA: I am presently with Defence Intelligence,I am part of the collection team under Major General Steenkamp.

Furthermore, serious allegations are ... MR SIBANYONI: Were you part of the team which brought him back from Lesotho to Ladybrand?

CHAIRPERSON: Well what he did say was that he could do investigations but when it came to an arrest he operated on -he always operated on an instruction, he didn't use his discretion to arrest people, that's all. He said with regard to investigations he was part of the investigating team. I don't ... MR OLIFANT: Well the team consisting of Capt Liesk and others, Capt Liesk could fluently speak English but the other investigating officers, they had a problem with English. MR VISSER: Then there's also the matter of the transgression of the international borders and customs control legislation and also the offences with regard to the possession, use and transport of arms and ammunition which was used by the team, is that correct? |
