MR LAX: Did you report the matter to higher IFP authorities to say: "Here is an IFP man in our area, armed with G3's intended for Self Protection Units. He's running amok in the area. Please come and do something about it." Did you say anything to your fellow IFP comrades to do that?

... took him to the police station. He was a joke, all the boers were laughing at him and asking, why didn't he protect himself and where the other comrades were, why didn't they protect him? All the people were there who were shot and Vus was put on the ground and he was not covered. The Boers ...

a state of emergency and then the askaris were very active in road blocks, in patrolling with the Security Forces and then they were identifying our comrades and the possibility of being killed in a large number was there, so it was decided that to play it safe, myself and the late William Madisi ...

MR NCISHANE: A marshall would be responsible for checking the area and finding out what the situation looks like in the area. Thereafter we go back and report back to the other comrades.

ADV PRIOR: Well certainly Dolo on the evidence occupies a far stronger position and a far more responsible position than his comrades, I mean he was in charge of the operation. He could tell them where to go, he could tell them to withdraw or not, to shoot or not. And in fact because we don't ...

The other comrades approached from the direction where his vehicle would drive off and the others approached from below the house. On hearing shots, some people whom we could not see, fired towards us. At the time I could not see Mr Mkhize because there were gunshots very close to where we were, ...
