Inkatha

After the funeral I decided that I cannot stay there, I had to look for a place to stay. The Inkatha members came and occupied my house. Even when I wanted to come back, I couldn't, because the Inkatha members refused to leave my house. Even when I wanted to sell my house, people were ...

We were attacking members of Inkatha and the reason why we attacked them is because they were also attacking us, and we were protecting ourselves, at times launching counter-attacks, and the people I was with were Siphiwe Ndlovu, I don't recall the other ones' names.

MR GUMEDE: I didn’t see him at that time, but when I threw the gun there, I think most people who were there at that taxi rank, they were Inkatha people and they saw me, but then they couldn’t tell the police. They saw me as I was walking towards the police car, since we were in one organization, ...

... to her son because they were talking of burning him and destroying his home. This lady called me and said that I should please call the leaders of Inkatha because she had already heard rumours that people were coming to attack our house.

We've heard evidence that the AWB was positive towards Inkatha, Mangope and Bophuthatswana and probably other institutions of groups as well. Weren't their supporters exclusively or even more exclusively black than the ANC/SACP support basis?

MR DEHAL: Then in paragraph 5 you say that in 1992 there was a lot of violence in the Engonyameni area, in that members of the Inkatha Freedom Party were becoming violent and killing members of the ANC. During this violence many of your family members were shot dead, namely your grandfather, ...

MR ZWANE: All I knew was that they were Inkatha members but with regard to the Black Cats they were the leaders of the group.

MR DANIELS: And you say that he killed your brother and your brother, you say, was a member of the IFP, the Inkatha Freedom Party?

MR NKONDO: Yes there were coaches that were described as Inkatha coaches and the others were described as ANC coaches. Now that one is naive who will just get into any coach.

... because Myaka's parent came from home, he's the one who made an effort. You see, in our case where we went to commit this robbery, it's because INKATHA was in need of the money, they needed the money to purchase firearms, but unfortunately we did not succeed in our ...

In the meantime I understand that two of the mentioned victims have appointed counsel to attend to their interests in the matter and I understand also that the Inkatha Freedom Party has engaged him to look after their interest as well.

MR MALAN: The Volkstaat is an old ideal that comes from the time the AWB was founded, several times before that. Let's try and put it differently, if things - you know who Inkatha is?

... to another area because he feared for his life. At the time when the deceased was killed, there was political tension between the members of the Inkatha Freedom Party. This was the period before the 1994 General Elections, and all the political groups were fighting for political positions and ...

... were barricaded and they were unable to come back that way and had to take Khumalo Street. When they were in the middle of that street a group of Inkatha men accosted them, stopped them and took out guns and they said they should drive into the hostel. The van which they were driving was forced ...

... back to the people who forced us to leave our area, or our places. We wanted to stay there as ANC members, freely, and also we wanted to kick out Inkatha members because they were the reason why we were out of our places. We were born there and it was sad and difficult for us to leave our ...

We realised that we should also invite the thugs as well to come and join us in this fight and we could realise that Inkatha will not have much power to attack us if we were that much in number but sometimes it would happen, until a certain period when we took the matter to the community to decide ...

During this time there was conflict between the ANC supporters on the one hand and the security forces and the Inkatha Freedom Party on the other. The occupants of Ethafeni Hostel were under constant attack by the members of the IFP. It is against this background that the members organised ...
