MR STEYN: That's correct. On this occasion it was ordered or I received an order that a national investigating team should be put together and that the matter should be investigated thoroughly to be able to reveal everything in respect of this operation, but that in all probability and due to the ... 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? When the internal supporters of the ANC/SACP alliance were not able to succeed by means of methods we've already mentioned to promote mass participation in the armed struggle then they used intimidation to a great extent. Moderate people in the black townships lived in fear and they were forced ... "... this weapon is required to ensure the credibility of a team who will be responsible for the infiltration at a group ANC terrorists in the Port Natal area." 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. 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. June 1969, Jacob Monokhotla who also died in 1969, Amem Heron, all these cases September 27th, 1969. Is that possible? Should people, a team of people, is it possible that they die in custody? A number to die in one year. I am reporting here cases that were reported. There could be more, I ... MR HATTINGH: And were there members of the South African Task Team that were asked to be of assistance? 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 amnesty committee is accordingly satisfied that De Kock and the Vlakplaas team which can be regarded as foot soldiers comply with all the requirements of the Act. They acted under orders. 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. The attorney for the Legal Resources Centre does not wish to give an undertaking that the documentation to be used at the hearing by the legal team for the family will be produced as requested and they are of the view that the applicant is required to make full disclosure prior to a victim having ... 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 ... 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 ... 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 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 MHLABA: I was told by our team leader or our Induna, Mr Mbatha. |
