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?

... a supporter of the African National Congress (ANC). At this time there was ongoing violence between the Mzimhlophe hostel dwellers who were mostly Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) supporters and the residents who were mostly African National Congress (ANC) supporters. Self Defence Units were formed ...

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

... 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 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.

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 ...

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.

... 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 ...

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 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 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.

... 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 ...

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?

... 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 ...

"I also hit some other people of Inkatha, with a home-made panga. They were hurt. One's surname was Ngema."

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?

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 ...

... 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 ...

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, ...
