... the crowds like in Uitenhage and they start protesting and we are frightened, what do I have to do, I don't want to shoot, I don't want to use my Casspir, I don't want to go in there and kill the people, what can I do? I can try to use water canons like they did in Cape Town, it works ...

... me, another night this white man came again. They came to fetch me and I was staying that time with my girl friend. When I got to where the Casspir was going, it was Nyanga East at the police station. That’s where they really beat me up so much that they said I was the organiser of all ...

Comrade McBride had discussed with me a number of targets, including attacks on an armed personnel carrier, police casspir and the attach on policemen, the attack on Labour Party collaborators and the attack on police reservists.

You said a Casspir arrived. Were there any people arrestedamongst the group? Were there any arrests made on that particular day? --- No,they never arrested anyone. They didn't even make a follow-up, none whatsoever.

MR LOOTS: Chairperson, the terrain from Zeerust to the place where we had to cross the border, is very bushy, thorn trees, lots of thorn trees and it is not a general open road to the border. We also had to use a casspir vehicle which moved relatively slowly and this also was quite time consuming.

... to do so one of the police called Vusi Maduna and asked him to tell them that they should disperse.  Vusi climbed up the police vehicle, a Casspir, and said "Comrades, these boers say you must disperse now".  Mnyandu says he and other comrades were very shocked by this behaviour of ...

... us, as he says he was able to give the Supreme Court in a matter that came before those courts related to these events, detailed accounts of the casspir numbers, what they did, including firing at Comrades whilst the Witdoeke were being given an opportunity thereby to attack the comrades, are ...

MR FOURIE: After the shooting, I did hear a discussion at the scene, but as far as I can remember those words were uttered after the Casspir vehicle arrived at the scene. I heard a discussion or the words, although I did not see it, but somebody did say that at the scene.

In the case of Mr de Klerk, it was Rex vs the Truth. Mr de Klerk had to seek refuge in a Casspir. He didn’t - another matter that needs to be solved are those Boers in the, on death row. Mr de Klerk was at Ventersdorp during the darkest crisis in our nation’s history, when all of us doubted ...

... in that plot where you couldn't run away? --- No, I was on my way to the shop and lots of people were singing and toi-toiing in the street and the casspir was following them.

The following policemen arrived in a casspir - Inspector Swanepoel, Fanie Burger and Tarrie Smith [Tarrie, Tarrie, that's correct] and Captain Botha. Inspector Swanepoel congratulated ...

MR VISSER: And you have also confirmed as it was put to you, that there was a warning system, a whistle system. As soon as a policeman or a casspir or a buffel had entered into a black area, whistles were blown and the whole area would know.

MR McBRIDE: Thank you Mr Chairperson. Yes, I told them that they should attack enemy personnel, there was a casspir also they were told to attack. For both the handgrenade attacks, army, police, collaborators, that is as far as I can remember. I can just add also, I had given them instructions ...

But now, and again the first witness stated that all the shots he heard were from the casspir side and again according to the deploy, the deployment as they were saying, whatever you call it, they were on all angles of the combi except the direction where Sehlwana ran to, so that he could be saved.

... and I was shot by the police. I crossed a backyard and coming out on the other side I was shot. The police picked me up there, put me in the casspir and took me to hospital but on my way to hospital I lost consciousness. That was on the 15th and only on the 26th June I regained ...

... the Police will say whatever they want to say at any stage. We all know that for instance in the Boipatong massacre, Police accounted for all the casspirs in South Africa, but one Policeman came and said he was in Boipatong with a casspir. I believe that the information contained in that fax, ...

... I should join them, I should help them, support them while they were singing. Yes, I joined them and I started singing along with them. A police Casspir approached from the west. That was a Hippo. It was approaching from a direction just not far from where we were, and a second Hippo ...
