Probably in the beginning of 1994, Applicant and other comrades arranged with one Vincent, an arms dealer to buy two Bazooka rocket launchers and 16 rockets.  He threatened to sell them to the IFP should they not wish to buy same.  They received the weapons, undertaking to pay at a later ...

... of credibility, but I don't understand why somebody would say, 'well listen I think I went to a cafe, I took out a loaf of bread to go and feed the comrades who were starving in the bush.

MR RADEBE: I'm speaking about lawyers who were helping the comrades who did not have money, to have legal representatives.

CHAIRPERSON: Did you not find out from your comrades what this was all about, what is this Kangaroo Court that the newspapers are referring to?

He said that not one of his comrades from Botswana had come to him at any time, since the explosion to surmise that perhaps their letter had been intercepted and used to convey the bomb. Let me concede Mr Chairman, at the outset, that there is of course another possibility that if anybody did ...
