askari

MR TSOLO: He was an askari, Chairperson.

"... the applicant instructed Joe Mamasela, an askari member of the Security Police, to infiltrate the ANC and to find out whether they were awaiting weaponry to be used against the police. He was also instructed not to influence them to ask for weapons, but those asking for weapons, would be ...

MR HUGO: But that you were attached to Vlakplaas, not in the capacity of an askari, but that you were a regular member of the Police, as it was then known?

MR BOOYENS: Now, a further risk with a former askari talking, was of course the fact that there were still askaris in the service of the police, is that correct?

MR MSIBI: Those are blue lies. I only heard about the Askari reports here. I don't even know what the meaning of that word is, I don't even know whence it came from.

told the TRC that their missing children had last been seen in the company of Mrs Madikizela-Mandela and that the TRC had received evidence from the askari who had killed these children and had not called on him to speak in public, Mr Leon was informed that the TRC by means of Mr Patrick Kelly, ...

... that on a certain day he was called by de Kock to his office. There he found him in the company of Bosch and Japie Kok. Flores came there with an askari, Chris Mogopa, an ex-PAC cadres. De Kock told him that there was a mission to carry out in Swaziland. He wanted Flores and Mogopa to send a ...

CHAIRPERSON: But don't we know that Vlakplaas was eliminating, even evidence we've heard for the past three years is that even if an askari was deviant, Mr de Kock wouldn't hesitate to take him out or eliminate him, to use the words used in the "omsendbriewe"?

MS P BERLIN:: So, can you tell us a bit about Vlakplaas hierarchy in paragraph 23, I understand that you became an Askari, and under whom did you fit into the Vlakplaas hierarchy, who was your commander?

CHAIRPERSON: May I on a question of clarity, so that I don't have to come back on this issue again, find out how long did it take Mosiane and the other askari to get to this person, try and infiltrate and bring this person to the safehouse in this assaulted condition?

MR LAMEY: If we study the Sikhakane matter which will be heard in the future, it is an askari from Natal and Vlakplaas was asked to act?

MR MOSIANE: At that time Chairperson, I was employed as an askari in C1 Section at the Police Head Quarters.

MR LAMEY: Nofomela, was he an askari?

... What I find strange and I did not cross-examine on that because I felt that it might not be as important, is that Mr Beeslaar would go with an askari or a person who had been turned, he would go to obtain the particulars about the person, but there is no evidence that there was ever really ...

MR GUSHU: When I went to shoot, I knew that he was intimidating and oppressing people. Also that he kept Askari members and Black Chain members in his house. I knew that. However, the certainty I received from Keswa and Mdumzimi who worked directly with Mr Msibi.

informer and as an askari since 1988, some two years at least prior to his demise. It is not in our submission terribly relevant to find out what his whereabouts were other than to know that in the period of two years Chairperson, he must have gained substantial knowledge of the workings and the ...

MR LAMEY: That is correct. You also say in your statement that afterwards there was identification by means of an askari, is it of that person?

... and that was to meet Roelf Venter, who was then a lieutenant and Captain Naude. My objective at that time was to interrogate a captured new Askari. I remember the man was cooperative. Then the last time I was at Vlakplaas was some months before Janine's ...

MR KNIGHT: Mr Chairman, if I can just place something on record in respect of Nofomela. He was never an Askari, he was in fact a constable from the start.

... what information was precisely given to him at what date but what is important, Chairperson, was that Ndaba was arrested on the 7th July by an askari, as it turned out later by two ...
