... general situation, and particularly the conflict in this particular area, involving members or supporters of the African National Congress and the Inkatha Freedom Party, has been dealt with quite ...

MR NORTJE: Well, basically to anybody who wanted to buy the arms. They didn't really care to who they sold these weapons. Members of Inkatha bought these weapons, ANC members bought the weapons, we asked them specifically and they said that they didn't really care who bought the weapons.

It is quite clear from his evidence that he had no reason whatsoever to believe that these people were Inkatha supporters or that they were there to launch an attack on the local residents. There is nothing in the evidence of the first or second applicants to suggest that the act committed by ...

... he was asking for too high a price. He wanted to take them from us, so we refused because if we had given them to him, he would have sold them to Inkatha, so we decided not to return them to ...

Who were these people? Just give us a clear indication? --- They were Inkatha members.

MRS MTSWENI: Maki or Mateo is my son. He was hacked to death by Inkatha members. After they had done that ...... I was not at home at home at the time of the incident but my daughter, the one who is present here with me to-day was also present. I was first from another place where I was told ...

MR MBAMBO: It is the Inkatha Freedom Party.

MR JOSEPH: Yes. Now, that is not a political formation. Were they members of the Inkatha Freedom Movement?

MR SIBIYA: Mr Sithole was a full time member of Inkatha, so much so that he could not hide his activities or his membership. I could say he was a staunch member of the IFP, so much so that at times when he walks passed us, he would call us all sorts of names.

"We did see him on one occasion where he sold hand guns and rifles to Inkatha Freedom Party supporters."

MS VAN DER WALT: Your commando or the division of which you were the commander did you have anything to do with Inkatha?

When we did that, going to that no-go area, when we were about to reach Khumalo Street, we took cover in another house. We saw this person. There was a group of Inkatha members with AK47's. She talked to them and we saw her talking to these IFP members with AK47's.

MR NOSENGA: I did explain. I wore an Inkatha T-shirt and went to Vereeniging. People from the township do their shopping in town.
