comrades

MR ARENDSE: Are those three different comrades or they one and the same person, this Mandla, Power, Jones or are they different persons?

There was a time when the Comrades realised that I was arrested again I was called in before the vigil and I was requested to apologise. At that time I had to attend night schools or adult education, I was having conscience, there were times when I was very affected by what had happened to me. ...

Theresa who had died. In fact you say she had been suspected of being a sell out. Was that what the questioning was all about or was it about your ...

... the police came and then there was a fight there. We started shooting. Actually they started shooting and we shot back until we lost one of our comrades who was in the valley and then we lost almost everything because now the fight was too hot. We had to leave everything, the money, even ...

... submission or statement. I think it is, it was on the second or the third or fourth, we were from a funeral in Kanana, after burying three or four Comrades with whom we were in the struggle with. We went to the funeral by taxis. On our way back from that funeral, there was also a funeral at ...

... so that I can take him to my place. Then I went out again because my son was not yet inside, then when I went out I could see that some of the comrades were carrying him towards my ...

MR TEKANE: Well I did get in touch with my comrades from the movement. I was reluctant to apply to some extent, that is why I applied so late, just before the deadline and they advised me to apply.

... that the name of Chris Hani, because he is not there to answer for himself, should be used to support the amnesty applications. According to our comrades in Port Elizabeth, the motive for the incident in ...(indistinct) was armed robbery and not political at all. We have unfortunately not ...

MR BOOYENS:: You have testified against your erstwhile Comrades, and gave testimony to the best of your ability to get them into jail for as long as possible. Is that right?

... does implicate me. Why I say that, there were times, as people were dying continuously in our section, there were times that I would transport the comrades, the SDU members to go and monitor us in the cemetery or the graveyard to see how safe we will be and to sort of monitor those who were ...

MR MSANI: They did not see eye to eye with our organisation and they would attack and kill our comrades.

Mandla at the station, who took me to a safe house. In this house, I met the late Comrade Mato Damiole, Ike, Castro and Bonge Mabuto. Thereafter, Comrades Sipho Mhlango, Medisi Ketelo and Tsepho Mtwetu arrived. ...

MR SCHOON: As instructed by the senior comrades, we in fact wrote a letter of introduction to Mr Williamson for a senior person in SACTU. I can't remember if it was to John Motswane or to Ray Alexander.

I distinctly remember (indistinct) Ndlovu being there, (indistinct) Bengu was also there and others. Therefore the inkozi was told to call a meeting of the community. Those who did not attend the meeting, would have to leave the area and move to areas which were controlled by the comrades.

MR XABA: As I was in Umtata, I was running away trying to escape from the police, from being arrested, and I went to join the peace keeping force in Bloemfontein. I was being sent there by the MK. I saw the comrades being arrested right in Bloemfontein.

Testimony was given of one of the attempts at killing this man. Fanyana Acrony Nhlapo and two of his comrades came across this man at Mdakane Street. They shot at him to no avail. The man simply kept on advancing into Slovo section, shot at three of the SDU members there, and left unscathed.

MR MHLONGO: As I said the SDU's mission was not to attack people, but to protect. So the people who were attacking their houses were the comrades - school kids that is. So we wanted them, because we were not fighting with their families. We were only fighting with them. We only wanted them.

Mr Cele, you've heard the evidence of your comrades and your co-applicants in this matter and particularly the detailed version of the attack given by the first witness, Mr Shange. Do you stand by what Mr Shange says or do you have anything that you would like to say about the evidence which he ...

... I may just give an example, judge, of what would be in that file? Mr Williamson had been working before my release from prison with a group of ANC comrades in London and they, once I became Secretary, had to send me records of who they were working with. Amongst those records were extensive ...

And what was that? --- I was told that they were going to identify the former Comrades.
