Inkatha

MR SIBANYONI: Last question, what would you say if a person says there is sort a perception that it seems you might have joined Inkatha to use it as a hurdle to get back to the people who were, I will say, having problems with you in the township?

... of the incitement, whichever expression one wishes to use, of someone else, someone older than him, someone more prominent than him in the local Inkatha hierarchy and that he felt at least some degree, in the second place, of pressure applied to him, whether expressed or not, to carry out ...

... against and the intimidation of anarchists and revolutionaries by the vigilantes or hamanagalala including for example an organisation such as Inkatha should be strengthened, expanded and enforced as a natural counter-measure against anarchy. After order had been established it should be ...

MR MALAN: But they would not necessarily have linked it to the police, they might have linked it to Inkatha?

... to hit Skosana(sic) with the handgrenade and Skosana influenced the other people against me and they told the other people that I was a member of Inkatha Freedom Party. ...

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, ...

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 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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

... 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 ...

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 ...

MR FALCONER: That was perceived to be an Inkatha affiliated area.

MR MIYA: Because he was a member of Inkatha and he was a hostel dweller but at the same time he had a shack within our own residential area. On that particular day he had come to pick up his belongings.

ADV MOTATA: Miss. According to the evidence it was an attack by Inkatha and there were several attacks, and I hope you listened to me when I asked the applicant that I didn't want generalities, but he mentioned this specific attack during 1990 where he saw your uncle armed, in the company of the ...

... which was harassing the community. After some time they went to stay in Vusimuzi Hostel with Mr Mduze. There at the hostel they collaborated with Inkatha. On 31 July 1993 whilst I was sitting at home in the dining room I heard men talking outside saying wake up men. Because there were patrols ...

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?
