... 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 ...

... went with me to Unit D. For example Brian Nxqulunga was not transferred to Unit D or to Vlakplaas at that time whereas Pete Mogai was - another Askari. And then there was another one, Edgar, another Askari who worked with us, who, if I am not mistaken, was transferred to ...

... and unsatisfactory. He said that what he was trying to convey in his statement of 2 October 1997 was that he only became aware of the name "askari" after the killing. This explanation is plainly contradicted by what is stated in the statement which is quoted in the preceding paragraph. ...

... of his colleagues.  He was a sergeant and worked under the command of Hechter.  He and Joe Mamasela, a former member of MK who was turned an askari, worked very closely with Hechter and were involved in many illegal operations.  The three (3) of them worked together as a team.  What ...

MS BUTHELEZI: He spoke about Ngono, I spoke about Betty and there's nothing that would make me say Ngono was an enemy agent or an askari or whatever you want me to say.
