comrades

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 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.

... 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 ...

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. ...

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.

MS TANZER: What was the relationship - how was the relationship between your comrades of Boipatong and the residents of Slovo Park, were they also protecting Slovo Park?

... 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.

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 ...

... and Daniel Rogers, during the lunch I retrieved messages from my (indistinct) link saying the TRC has turned down the applications of these two comrades. Now, if you are a commander, like myself, a Director of Operations, you lead to people to war. Applicant after applicant is declared to ...

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.

"In 1993 after joining the PAC, I was with comrades in this mission Simphiwe Manshe, Nelson Gebe. As a PAC member I decided to take training in order to fight for my country. I asked Mr Gebe to explain to me if it's possible for me to join APLA, or how long is that going to take. Mr Gebe told me ...

MR BLACK: Right. You say that about May 1992, you were with other comrades, you learnt that the Black Cats were harassing people at a disco in Ermelo, is that correct?

MS REDDY: What did Mr Mbambo relate to you and your comrades?

Now I told myself that I'm going to do what I'm here for, which was helping comrades going through the border and receiving them when they came out from the borders. And then since I was already used to that. At times I was severely interrogated, but I could take the punches. I'd still stay, ...

found her with some people, Pujali. I asked Nonbowela where is your father. She said that she didn't know where he was because she has been seeing comrades coming in and out. Other people were running away from me when I posed the same ...

MR MNISI: As I've already indicated yesterday my involvement there was to try and get two comrades and to test the remote control device that will be used in Pretoria.

... was after I shot the one fire in the air. They were hiding because they heard the shot. We got out of the gate. We did not see the car and our comrades were nowhere to be seen. Why, I do not know. But we had to run because people were now screaming "Stop them, stop the thieves". We ran ...

ADV GCABASHE: ... was that the plan, that the car must go back and bring more of your comrades to come and join you? Was that the plan? She really wants to know about the planning. Before you went there, what was the plan?

... it was unlikely that anybody was going to really suffer as a result of your action and I'm talking about the people you were observing, the ANC comrades involved in Vula and that you wanted to make sure that they had as hard a time as possible and you were hoping that they would be ...
