CHAIRPERSON: Because I remember the words at one of the hearings of one of the askaris, saying that when he was a member of the ANC, of the MK, he was a soldier with a conscience and then when he was turned and was an askari, he was a soldier without a conscience. So that doesn't mean when he was ...

ADV LAMEY: Mr du Plessis you said earlier that it wasn't much importance for the Vlakplaas members, I now refer to the Askaris whom I represent and I have to just correct myself, it's one Askari and one permanent member, Johannes Koole, of Vlakplaas the Askari whom I represent is Mr Mogoai, who ...

MR MOSIANE: Chairperson at that time I was an askari. I was under the control of the South African Police Services, under C1 Unit, which was in Head Quarters.

MR HATTINGH: Indeed, yes Mr Chairman. Mr de Kock, the deceased, Mr Brian Ngqulunga, was initially an askari who was connected to Vlakplaas, is that correct?

MR HATTINGH: Yes, but whoever had abducted him, I think there may have been one askari involved, let's leave it at that, the people who abducted him, had not disguised themselves?

MR DE KOCK: Yes, I think he was an askari, if I think about it now. That is why there wouldn't be a record about him.

And in this case it was about the protection of the members ...

CHAIRPERSON: Yes, I think maybe we should clarify that. I think you are right, it seems to me on the papers that there was a Black member of the security branch who would normally not be regarded as an Askari.

MR BEESLAAR: No it is not really correct, it would be an askari or as I have already stated, a returning terrorist who had been rehabilitated, because an informer was something quite different.

"... and I, through Duiwel, had hung an askari and he died."

... any more".  At no state was he present during the operation.  He was, however, aware that the person would be killed if not recruited as an ...

MR ROSSOUW: And that was your duty as a so-called askari at Vlakplaas, to identify other MK members and to try and recruit them.

MR VISSER: And that would be as an Askari?
