The Inkatha Freedom Party was ... There was a day in November that you were telling the Commission that an assault took place on Lolo Sono.

For us as a team it symbolized committing ourselves to reconciliation, the fact that we’ve come in, the fact that we work with the TRC on a frequent basis, we are also committed to reconciling South Africa as a whole. But what’s the symbol behind it from the TRC’s perspective? // Well for us ... We’ve come to the end of our programme. The Truth Commission is facing a crisis of credibility right now.

A bit of good news as we end tonight’s programme; we saw Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Chairperson of the Truth Commission back in action this week after a long absence due to ill health. He addressed a press conference on Friday. We sincerely hope his recovery will be swift and complete. That’s it ... That was the end of tonight’s Special Report. Our team moves with the Truth Commission to KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday and our appointment with you is next Sunday at quarter to seven. Goodnight. That then is the BBC’s account. The final truth remains to be determined by the Truth Commission and the Special Report team will bring details of those hearings as they unfold. Please join the Special Report again this Sunday evening at eight on SABC 1. Good night.

More than one of them have been implicated directly in gross human rights violations and there are only 20 days left before the deadline for applications for amnesty. After 14 ... I never told Benzien or anybody else in so many words to assault any of these mentioned people or to make use of the wet-bag method during interrogation.

This episode begins with a report on Eugene de Kock?s criminal trial and the effects his revelations - implicating the former state president, cabinet ministers and others - might have on the Truth Commission process. The segment includes an interview with Truth Commissioner Dumisa Ntsebeza ... Hello. Welcome to the second last edition of the Special Report. Before we get on with today’s report a huge apology to all our viewers. Our programme was not broadcast last Sunday, as it had been for almost two years. The Special Report team was very upset and embarrassed by this because the ... We are particularly outraged at her obvious complicity in the recent abductions and assault on young people like Stompie. We believe that had Stompie and his three colleagues not been abducted by Mrs. Mandela’s football team, he would have been alive today. The Mass Democratic Movement at this ... During the second half of the 1980s many black communities were suffering under internal conflicts. Victim became perpetrator; perpetrator became victim.

If you are interested in the healing of the memories ... ‘Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Port Elizabeth’ // We’ve just touched down here in the Eastern Cape where the Truth Commission held its first Human Rights Violations hearings in April last year. The Special Report team hopes to speak to some of the first victims who told their stories to the ... Then the other side, those branded informers, started hitting back. People in the township started referring to them as the A-Team after an American television series. Members of the community say the police assisted the A-Team, but they deny this saying that when they were in trouble the police ... The one man who seemed prepared to go further than denials was Rubin Marx. Marx is an old style policeman who was also part of the interrogation team. // The deceased Mr Biko did not like being told to get up when Siebert told him he must get up when he speak to me in my office. I thought that I ... If you are considering applying for amnesty we suggest you contact the Truth Commission’s offices in your region at the numbers now on your screen.
