... 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.

MR BIZOS: We are discussing this case, that is why we believe that introducing examples of other situations like the askari. The askari may be between the devil and the deep blue sea. He may have to go to jail if he doesn't listen to his captors or - but we are dealing with these particular ...
