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.

De Kock further states that he is not aware of a conversation about an askari who had to be killed which, according to Daniel Lionel Snyman, took place in the canteen before the murder of the deceased.  (Snyman's evidence will be dealt with below).  Snyman claims that in the said ...

... 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 NIEUWOUDT: I cannot remember that, the only Askari that I knew who was present was Moss whom I knew personally.

... could recall. The evidence of de Kock and others and that of the fifth applicant, S.J. Visser, as to whether Msibi was eventually turned into an Askari differs substantially. It is however clear that De Kock’s association with Msibi had come to an end much earlier than that of S.J. Visser and ...

He further testified that he became disillusioned with the ANC and deserted them. It is common cause that he became an Askari.

... of casualties and particularly conscript casualties was becoming very, very high and one can see this in the rate of casualties between Operation Askari and the ones that came earlier. It was just a quantum leap and the SADF was hypersensitive to White conscription. I don't think anti-White ...

... Police, and he was captured when his ammunition was finished. Later he was taken to Mafekeng and interrogated and later he decided to join the Askari group and now he has crossed the floor and was working with the 'system'. ...

... information. The ANC is convinced that both Solly Smith and Francis Meli were poisoned in order to silence them. The truth about the death of askari "September" (Glory Sidebe), the poisoning of Thami Zulu, the death of "Fear" (Edward Lawrence) in 1988, and the extent to which poisons have ...

CHAIRPERSON: Was this informer, Mr Mathebula, an askari?

According to the evidence that is before you this applicant was given information by his superiors and the information was that the deceased was an askari, an institution well known to the - acting on the other side of the ANC and uMkhonto weSizwe. It is my further submission, Chairperson, that ...

MR VISSER: As far as one can piece the evidence together, it seems that Mr Sikhakane was probably recruited as an informer who later became an askari during approximately 1988 and this happened, this must have happened prior to, perhaps you know about that, the abduction and the elimination of Mr ...

MR LAMEY: The gist of that without going into detail, is that you were, when you became a member of the Security Police, you became what they called an askari to distinguish you from original police members because you'd been previously a member of the ANC and MK, is that correct?

BRIG CRONJE: Johannes Mnisi was a former askari at Vlakplaas and he decided to rejoin the ANC. He then went into exile in Botswana and from there he launched and planned a variety of terrorist activities, he was one of the main planners of, for instance, the Church Street Bomb. According to ...

... they hope that it will be known not only in this room, but in public as well, especially where they live in KwaMashu, that Mr Dion Cele was not an askari or an informer, because all along they've been harassed by the community they live in because there were those rumours that Mr Dion Cele was ...

MR MOLEFE: That is correct and from the evidence it appears that he in actual fact crossed sides in that he apparently became an Askari. This particular person apparently also had a lot to do with this particular incident in that he's the one who provided Mr Toka with the intelligence report. ...

MR VAN RENSBURG: I think that one was an askari who had formally served at Vlakplaas. I would imagine but I'm not certain. I think so, but I suspect that I may be mistaken, he may have come after me to Port Elizabeth, he doesn't really ring a bell in my mind but during the amnesty hearing I was ...

MR DE KOCK: Yes, Mr Chairperson. They were caught in a roadblock on their way to attack an ANC house in Gaborone. It came from an askari, or no, sorry, not an askari but from a terrorist or ANC MK member that we caught in Durban that morning. He was caught by members of Vlakplaas. That MK ...

MS PATEL: Well perhaps your understanding of the term askari is not the normal understanding that we have here of an askari being a turned liberation or MK, PAC person who would then be turned and then used by the Security Forces against the liberation movements, but I'll take it no further.
