Mr de Nysschen was the Vice Chairperson, our children went to school together and we became friends. It was in a school context. MR VIKTOR: Chairperson, any one of us who was involved in this team did some reconnaissance and that is how we knew how to get to the particular houses. MR DU TOIT: Chairperson, I definitely did not know who the specific individual was, if they had mentioned a particular name to me at that point, it wouldn't really have meant much to me, other than the motivation and the fact that a decision had already been taken by a higher authority and by the ... MR SIBANYONI: If you can still recall, was the team consisting of only white members, or were there both white and black members of the Special Forces? Reconciliation Commission, the investigating team of the Attorney- MR SHAIK: That is the one yes. That was purely an administrative omission, either on my side or my legal team's side.

MR VISSER: You have paragraphs 25 to 28 of Exhibit F before you and you have studied this and this is also a reflection of the information that you gave to us as your legal team.

He says that Jeff came to him early in the morning at about six (am) and told him that his house has been burnt. Other AZAPO members came and they ... CHAIRPERSON: You see I speak for myself. I find it strange that the PAC would arrange for this operation to take place and not to equip all its members of that team with arms so that they can successfully complete that operation. Have you got any comment about that? ADV GCABASHE : Last question, were there black members of the Task Team with you, the Task Force with you? Good before I ask you to tell us a little bit about yourself and then also to tell us about your daughter, I would like to just read some of the context statement that has been prepared by your research team so that we understand what the context was and - at the time of your daughter's shooting. ... WITNESS: My testimony in both languages, in some areas of the statement I will address myself in English, in some areas I will address in Xhosa.

Even these guys who have come ... DR RANDERA: And you said the first time you were given medical treatment was when the international team arrived, international doctors arrived. How long was that after you went to the island? As I said, mentioned earlier, the Press, not the national, but even the international Press was there. There was American Press there, a team from the Bostonian Globe, I think, and the Chicago Tribunal or whatever it may be, was there as well. They took photos of this pig in my shop. This was the ...
