A-Team (OFS)Explanation CHAIRPERSON: Welcome to your legal team as well. Before we take your testimony, I am going to ask you just to take the oath. GEN LE ROUX:: From information reports, of that time I was made aware that the Maponya Group was responsible for various bomb explosions, particularly in public places. Ordereli Maponya later died while he was busy placing an explosive device at the Ster Complex in Sunnyside, Pretoria when the ... correctly, the team that was responsible for this operation was headed by at that stage you say Capt. Eugene MR BOOYENS: Who would have been the commanding, in command of the investigation or interrogation team? As things went by, I gave what I thought was a credible explanation which was of course, a fabrication, and what I said was that the CCB had made use of my services, but that during the Webster incident, I was no longer a member of the CCB, I used the problems with McQuillan and the incident to ... In the period 3 September 1984 - to 16 April 1994 I was part of the Security Branch in Soweto. During this period as a member of the investigating team known as the Terrorist Tracing Unit I was a component head and my function was investigating of security matters. I also wish to congratulate you with a very good team and I would like to request you to give my good wishes to one and all and wish them luck for the future. Once again, thank you very much. MR KOOLE: Chairperson, I saw him that he was present during the interrogation but I'm not able to testify that he took part or which part during the interrogation but he was present in the interrogation team even in the assault. 17B/17 "and 12th May of the same month.

MR DERBY-LEWIS: Mr Chairman, when we consulted it actually came out that I was not referring to the late Chris Hani as a former commander, I was referring to him as the commander of MK and my legal team then advised me to change it. A well functioning health team needs to be comprised of a whole range of professionals such as nurses, doctors, therapists, lab technicians, pharmacists and dentists. At no time while we worked at the Bethesda was there ever such a team. This is problematic for the following reasons: MR DE KOCK: Chairperson, it would not only have been Mr Ras. It was such an operation, it was a team operation, a team effort, it was not only one person who had the information, it would have been discussed in a group. MR PRETORIUS: Yes, anti-revolutionary task teams. Yes, honourable chairman the anti-revolutionary task team. Then on September 13th I was taken out of the house. That is throughout August there was a certain comrade by the name of Jacob and another one by the name of A Team.

MR FALCONER: Mr Chairman, I am not going to suggest for a second they were not acting grossly improperly, but what I am saying is and I think it is common cause, specifically when one has regard to the evidence before the Gross Human Rights Committee, there was a small parcel of an area in ...

GEN WEBB: We had to give our full co-operation with the investigation team, namely Gen Badenhorst and Brig Engelbrecht. And there were many of the young people that came from some of these areas, and these issues were discussed.
