Was he the part? Michael James was an informer, because he became a kitskonstabel in 1987, he was still an informer then. Even 1985 and 1986 he was working in the rent office - in the family affairs. I couldn’t also believe it that my uncle could be an informer.

Okay, I would - in a few words I am going to summarise this situation at the time. [indistinct] people killed and ten injured on January the 16th 1988 in Bhongolethu, Oudtshoorn by David Sibango who was a kitskonstabel and others.

You say that Spyker was a kitskonstabel.

Yes, I did attempt to make some inquiries. I went to Envy Esop and he said that I should come again and phoned an attorney - I don’t know who it was - but Marks obviously told them that I had assaulted a kitskonstabel.

I would like to know from the Commission can’t you help me - can’t you help me to take that bullet out of his head, maybe it will damage him worst and worst, the bullet is in the stomach from the girl, she was shot by a kitskonstabel.

Me Jafta good morning and welcome. I would like you to go back to that day in 1988 when you were shot by the kitskonstabel and relate your story in as detailed way as possible to assist us in - not only investigating, but also in documenting this case.

I went to ask for matches from the kitskonstabel then I went to another one, I forget his name, he said he didn’t smoke - or he didn’t have it. I decided to go and to buy matches, he said are they finished with you the detectives, I said yes, I could see that he was just asking absent mindedly ...

to the police station in Sandkraal, he was there when we arrived. They were still hit - beating him. Firstly he ran out to a dam - into a dam, one kitskonstabel came and fetched him out, they take him back to the small hall and they beat him again. He was crying - asking what did I do, no-one ...

MRS NOFEMELE: Yes. He is a detective now, he was a kitskonstabel at the time.
