A-Team (OFS)Explanation Showing 321 to 340 of 843 First Page•Previous Page 13 •14 •15 •16 •17 •18 •19 •20 •21 Next Page•Last PageMR FLORES: Myself and my team of askaris purchased a whole lot of ingredients to make Russian cocktails, which was petrol, washing powder etc. and cloth. MR NGOBESE: kwaMakuto. It was at kwaMakutho and Zibogodweni, this was the area where there was conflict between Amampondo and Amazulu. Sefiso had left Chesterville because of the A team problem. MR NORTJE: I am not sure, if I think about it, I cannot recall that all of them were there, that the whole two buses were there, but on the other hand I want to imagine that the blue bus which was Nofomela’s bus, and the white bus, these were normal Nissan E20 mini-buses, I imagine that I saw them ... MR BEESLAAR: Yes, but it’s possible that we could have returned but it is quite possible that we went with the team. MR MORRIS: Yes. He then accused me again of playing for a team which he doesn't like. In Natal, and in KwaZulu in particular, the violence against anti-apartheid organisations and individuals intensified in the mid-1980s with the emergence of the "warlords" and "vigilantes" in rural and urban areas. These included gangs such as the AmaSinyora in KwaMashu, the core of which consisted ... MR BOTHA: The members who had been allocated from Durban to interrogate Messrs Gordhan and Lalla were Carl Duhr, Marius Greyling and Frans Bothma. A fourth member who has passed away in the meantime was Warrant Officer Basson and he was also allocated to that interrogation team. After the shooting all the members of the team entered the house, grabbed documents and weapons which they found in the house and vacated the premises as soon as they could. They drove to the border and left Swaziland by crossing the fence illegally. They did not make use of the border posts. MR MBEWU: For example, since 1982, I was still very young then. We use to enjoy playing football when we were children and we use to play it quite often. We had our own team and at the time of my injury I was still playing for that team. It was the, the team was called Four United Brothers. So ... Now we did our best and now on that hot pursuit, we arrested a lot of people, more especially people in whose villages we found our team staff which had been captured in that ambush. I don't remember who said it, but somebody mentioned that a person was from the Sithole family and he also said that he also played for a team owned by Bongeni Mzizi. MR BOOYENS: On page or paragraph 28 you deal with the situation on the ground and, perhaps, just for sake of completeness, there is a little bit more detail here. That morning, very, very early, before it was light, this police task team moved in? Mr Olifant, in the bundle before you this Panel there is on page 146 to 152, an initial application dated the 11th of December 1996, signed before a Commissioner of Oaths, Andrew Liesk. Can I just lead you on this. Is this the first application that you submitted to the TRC with the assistance ... CHAIRPERSON: But that is the reason for my questions. You were there, you handled the beers, you were a member of the team which went on this operation, why can't we determine what these beers would have been used for? MR NTULI: There are so many reasons. This person was training us in Karate in the area, when he joined the IFP and the other young boys, because there was this Youth League and the others who were in the soccer team, most of the young boys who were involved there and some of them, most of them ... MS MARCUS: I don't recall the specifics, but probably myself and others who had been part of preparing them. We would have a team who would be part of collecting the banners and distributing them at the march. MR DE KOCK: Chairperson, firstly the request was issued to me by Brig van Rensburg that Mrs Coetzee be followed. I had to arrange for a surveillance team which would attempt to determine whether or not she could lead the police to Dirk Coetzee and then furthermore we also started receiving ... MR BIZOS: And Mr Verster had the same legal team? MR LEOPENG: My question is, were those bruises that you observed on his body as a result of the abduction, not specifically you, but one of your team's? "Tony Oosthuizen then arranged with NIS, for a surveillance team to let the infiltrating groups come into Soweto, into the heartland of South Africa, and surveil them and then arrest them while they are here and not near the border, but that thing didn't work, guys got away." |
