askari

CHAIRPERSON: And it was then that the askari, the deceased, entered the canteen and you could see that he had been drinking as well.

I couldn't necessarily send my Askaris in because if I was going to send an Askari member in, he would have to be a PAC member and he would be identified by the PAC. The Botswana border patrol or police patrol residing in that community would have arrested this foreign person.

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 instructed not to influence them to ask for weapons but those asking for weapons would be supplied with ...

MR BOSCH: I cannot recall whether it was then or at a later stage, but Mr Hugh Lugg who was sitting there, who was also an askari, I took him outside so that he should not see what was going on.

MR DU PLESSIS: And you will agree with me that Mr Beeslaar's function amongst others was to deal with all the paperwork and administrative work with regard to Mr Mngomezulu if he should become an askari?

MR DE KOCK: Mr Chairperson we killed people. I'm now talking about a former member of the ANC, an askari, who then later became a policeman, Ngulunga, when it appeared from Gen van Rensburg that this person made contact with the ANC, he already made contact with them, then we killed him. We are ...

MR VAN DER MERWE: At the function did you take part in any discussions regarding a problem askari or person in Boputhatswana? Do you have any knowledge of those discussions?

Towards that end, perhaps I should start with what I've seen occurring just in the last sitting. We had - the former chap here was an askari, who I believed left the ANC because, by his own admission, he didn't necessarily participate in the physical beating, but maybe violated rights of ...

... a member of the Pan Africanist Congress. The reason why this person would have to be killed, was because he would be able to identify the "Askari" who had furnished Fivaz with information. According to the applicant the plans involved members of the Reaction Unit who would penetrate the ...

MR HATTINGH : According to your experience, is this the person who would be suitable for use as an askari, would he be willing to leave everything there and to go and live at Vlakplaas and be of assistance with the identification of terrorists?

... severe torture was afflicted, where the people in fact died and he has not hidden one fact, especially in the matter of Moses Ntalang, who was an askari who was murdered in the canteen at Vlakplaas. That was I think it's a case that really tried his credibility to the utmost. ...

ADV BOOYENS: That is the askari?

... 300 kilometres north of Ovamboland since 1984. "When South Africa withdrew from Southern Angolan territory it had captured and big operation Askari between '83 and February '84." So, you know, this was the time where there was this to-ing and fro-ing of South African forces and ...

MR HATTINGH: And that he had threatened to disclose that information if he was not appointed as a policeman because he was still an askari?

MR JANSEN: Just to mention this briefly, the incident was also about an askari, but he was not connected to Vlakplaas, he worked for the Bophuthatswana Police.

Applicant was an MK soldier who had been kidnapped and became an askari. He was ordered to identify members of MK who came back to the RSA after they had received training abroad. His commander at Vlakplaas was Captain De Kock.

... 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 ...

MR DE KOCK: No Chairperson, I did not know about that. As far as I knew, Ndaba was not an informer, Ndaba was identified by an askari under the command of Col Taylor, that is how he was captured. After he was captured, he in turn pointed out Tshabalala. Furthermore this took place in secrecy, ...

MR PRINSLOO: I could have, Chairperson, but after my conversation with him and my questioning of him, I had already come to a decision that he was a possible askari, that I could possibly turn his head.
