... Yes Chairperson, I also realised that and I thought back to what Nortje had told me. They sent in Mosiane, they tried to lure him by means of an askari. An askari is not a person who presents himself as a terrorist, he is a person who is a terrorist, he was a terrorist before, and Japie ...

MR JANSEN: Why for example, did you not send in an example to move around in the vicinity of the house, one of the black members or an Askari to patrol in the vicinity of the house?

MR CORNELIUS: And then finally, you would agree that if the information had been disclosed by an askari, for example the names and identities of askaris, their addresses, registration numbers of their vehicles, that could endanger Vlakplaas.

Mosiane testified that he was carrying out an order from his superior when he burnt the Sacred Heart Church Hall and believed that he was acting to protect the previous regime which he, as an askari, was defending at the relevant time during the current political conflict.

They said he's and Askari and Sam said it is better to - you must - you had better tell them where are the guns, or else you won't live long. I said to them, I'm not in ...

Mr de Kock, I am representing Daniel Nkala. I believe that he was an askari at the Vlakplaas unit.

MR PIGOU: No, I understand that Senior Superintendent Dempsey but a witness of this importance, an Askari who had been inside the house of Mrs Mandela for some time, providing you with invaluable information - some of the notes that you’ve provided us include hand-written notes about instructions ...

When were you given a description of the Askari’s from Vlakplaas who were with these men?

MR KOOPEDI: I've seen your application form or rather the statement you submitted to the Amnesty Committee, you referred to him as an askari?

CHAIRPERSON: That had failed already. You knew that, didn't you? He had gone through nine months of this, had been released as an askari, had been abducted and then rejoined the ANC. So the so-called control that you had over him on the first occasion had collapsed completely.

"At a later stage an askari, Jimmy Mbane, informed us that he had arranged that the Kubheka woman would be brought to us at the old Railway Police shooting range near Winkelspruit."
