MR LAX: Mr Lalla, while Mr Mapoma is busy. As I understand it, looking at the generality of what you're applying for, to put it very simply, you were part of a team that briefed an operative or operatives? MR VAN NIEKERK: Yes. When I arrived at the security branch in 1976 I was also part of a team who were involved with the investigation - in the investigation that started in June 1976. REVD XUNDU: I would like you to give us the names of these people so that our investigating team can help you to find out some more information. I think that is a better way. MS SEROKE: Maurice, in this statement, it shows that there was an inquest and we are going to ask our investigation team to investigate and get the results so that we can corroborate these things that you've just told us.

I understand that you were a very good rugby player in the Wesselsbron rugby team. Is that correct? MR RAHANTLANE: Mr Malindi this to my team members because they were the first to hear that I was attacked and I related it to my relatives and friends. A certain team was elected from the Security Police and some members from other units, compiling the team who was going to be in charge of this, look for the people who were planning to overthrow the government. I was one of the members of the team. The application arises out of an incident which occurred at Ndwendwe on the 23rd of March 1990 when the applicant, in concert with Mduduzi Desmond Mbhele; Lucky James Hlengwa; Sibusiso Patrick Thembe and Dumisani Ernest Dlamini robbed a pension team, escorted by police, which was to pay out ...

De Kock's legal representative then put it to him: "I understand that, but it seems to me that he had already chosen his team and the destination had been determined?"
