MR MBELE: I don't want to commit myself, I don't know, but it was the comrades.

... that the police were involved in an arson attack upon her and that it was done to hurt Joe and his family. I believe as did my family and those comrades with whom the matter was discussed, that attack on Joe was orchestrated by members of the Security Forces who had recruited members of the ...

I do not know - I do not - I did not get a chance to find out. I was in Cape Town, apparently there was conflict between the comrades and the informers. Apparently before I came back from Cape Town, such conflict arose, I had just come back from work, I do not know what happened.

MR MADUNA: If you put it the way you put it, that the ANC or Mr Nongwe were fighting, I will have a problem, because the conflict in Crossroads, you would hear gunshots all the time, even the comrades were fighting.

This lady told us to run away, maybe we will also be affected. This surprised me, because I was not guilty of anything. I had nothing against the Comrades. I never disrupted their attempts to fight for freedom, because I also wanted freedom in this country. I never killed anyone. ...

... and then we entered and then we sat and I had a neighbour with whom I was going to work, another lady.

MR MBHELE: I had dedicated my life, because even my comrades, my colleagues, had been killed. Fortunately I am not the one who died, but Muzi.

... I was sent to this particular group there was a prisoner held at the police station cells who I was given instructions to get some names of his comrades and I slept with him in the cell and the following day I had to tell him that my lawyer was there to release ...

... who was killed by UDF. You see, this thing was confusing. We could not understand UDF because we belonged to ANC. We used to say, "You are comrades," and they said, "No, we just use necklace. We are not." That's what they will say. This started 1990 up to the time when they killed ...

MR BERGER: Did you not ask your comrades "what are you doing, why are you taking the stuff, why are you plundering", didn't you ask them?

From there, after that we asked ourselves and parents and other comrades, what must we do now, because they have got to consult a doctor. One elderly person said, Mr Hatibe, we need to take them to the office of the ANC at Nelspruit, we must go and show them there. They arranged for us which ...
