Operation Zero Zero

Explanation
Eight young activists were killed and at least seven were injured in explosions involving booby-trapped hand grenades in Duduza, KwaThema and Tsakane, Tvl, on 26 June 1985. The zero-timed grenades had been provided by a Vlakplaas operative purporting to be an MK operative. The operation, codenamed 'Zero Zero', had been authorised by the Minister of Law and Order. Fifteen Security Branch operatives, including the head of the Security Branch and other senior personnel, were granted amnesty for the operation.

MR BLACK: Did he go out to the scene of the operation, did you as the Investigator take him out to where the shooting had taken place so that he could take photographs of that scene?
JUDGE NGOEPE: Sorry, I accept that in terms of your report, I accept that he must have been subjected to some kind of stress, traumatic stress and so on. But I am not sure I understand as to what eventually triggered the disorder. What triggered the disorder into coming into operation?

There was direct military action. We have this here as Operation Palmiet. This operation took place in 1984 during the height of the Vaal rent boycott. This phase gave way to another lasting era from the late part of 1985 until the national peace accord. This phase can be described as a phase ...
MR CORNELIUS: Did you then receive any instruction to participate in an operation?
While clearly, the operation described is unmitigated abuse, the next question that we need to ask is whether Mr Klopper committed any act or deed himself, which constitutes an offence or delict for the purposes of the act for which he could be prosecuted or sued. It is only if one takes his ...
MR CORNELIUS: Did you participate in the operation and did you reconcile yourself with the operation?
Dr Copperwitz, his treatment is not less than R300-00 every month. I was supposed to go to Cape Town to undergo an operation but they told me that I had to pay R60 000-00. MS MAYA: A heart operation?

Back to the issue of the mopping-up operation by hostel dwellers on August 24, I left home and returned near to Mzimhlope, Meadowlands, Killarney, "War zone". It must have been after midnight when, together with photographer Khosini, who was then known as William Kosi we observed a group of ...
I am right when I say that at the time during 1987, any particular person or association was seen to work in co-operation with the police, or giving evidence to the police or working in co-operation with the apartheid local Councillors, they were seen as "impimpis" and enemies of the liberation ...

MR BIZOS: The question was: "Was it a contingency plan which could only be put into operation by the decision of the Party"?
I labelled this strategy plan code "Operation Lullaby". Now each letter in that Lullaby stands for a specific purpose, which I will gladly explain if you so request. Operation Lullaby was amazingly successful.
In the evening of the day in question, both the applicant and Jack proceeded to the intended target where they threw a number of petrol-bombs. The operation was a blunder, in that a wrong target was hit, and that was the house belonging to Elizabeth Makwana. Although there were people inside, no ...
