Inkatha

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 MOPEDI: Before you started to attack these people, have you verified first to make sure that they were indeed the members of Inkatha Freedom Party or Inkatha in short?

... the time members and supporters of the ANC, and as such active so-called comrades in the area. Accused number 1 also says that the deceased was an Inkatha supporter. Although the children of the deceased deny this, the evidence of Ngcobo and Zulu(?) certainly shows that the killing was an ANC ...

DR ALLY: Anybody else? No. Now in your statement you actually mention Inkatha as the alleged perpetrators. You say and I am going to read from your statement. On our way we were attacked and the bus was petrol bombed by Inkatha supporters. Now, do you recall making this statement?

MR MAGUBANE: It is because at that time after the - because they were calling me Inkatha at that time, therefore I had to run to KwaMadala hostel because I had no place to run to.

MR BEEA: There was collaboration as far as we knew between right wing organisations and the Inkatha Freedom Party and at some point - it's just that I can't remember and put dates into perspective today - at some point information that we had, that I had was that one of the extreme right wing ...

MR MOLAHLEHI: What happened that day, the Inkatha marchers were singing from the hostel. Because we were afraid that when they come back they will come and attack us we went into Unit F so that we could see the direction that they were taking.

MR SIPHO: And in the trial, at page 266 of the record, the Judge said that according to your evidence, you could neither agree nor disagree that the compound is predominantly occupied by Inkatha supporters.

REV MZAMBU: During 1986 we buried some people in Alexandra. These victims were killed by Inkatha members and policemen. Those police used to hit at any target, they hit all the people, young children and also women. And these are the people I am asking about, why don't they come out and explain ...

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 ...

... the wall, and now that he's going to pay revenge. I didn't even know what was this revenge about, because I didn't know what was involved, and the Inkatha people spoke in the township. While I was still listening to that one day some boys arrived ... (end of ...

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 ...

MR McBRIDE: I think at some stage the leadership, the local leadership, introduced me to him as one of the people who were assisting to a great deal in the defence of the communities, after attacks by Inkatha and other State surrogate forces.

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?

... 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 ...

Since those people assaulted me, those people who called themselves Inkatha and the police. They assaulted me on the head. Even I can't hear clearly with my ears, because of what happened to me.

... heard evidence so far over the last two days that indicates that by the 27th, and even before the 25th in fact, there were already clear signs that Inkatha was massing forces, that - for example we heard yesterday about the meeting between the chiefs at Ulundi, and the King, where people were ...

MR DASTILE: The agenda of the Saturday meeting was that we would have to make a decision as to how we were going to, jointly with Inkatha, address the allocation of land.
