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.

The applicant does not appear to have shown remorse in the time immediately following the attack, and even went so far as to say that had a white person been killed in the train station attack, he would have been more satisfied with the relative success of this operation.

MRS MLHABENE: There is nothing that I have heard afterwards. There is nothing that's happened until today, that is why I say that this has affected a lot of things and even now I am still surprised and even my last born underwent an operation in her skull as she cannot even study properly.
"Concerning Operation Maivuya, in it's study the Committee should bear in mind the following main targets: Strategic power stations, police stations and irredeemable government stooges."
... Management Committee of Nelspruit High at that stage. They determined the targets and determined who belonged to what, so I was actually only an operation on the ground. I served in the higher structures at TG, but they were in command and they identified the persons. And as you know, ...
CHAIRPERSON: Was this your first operation as a member of APLA?
MR VEYI: When there would be an operation, for example, maybe there would be eight of us in the Unit and then six of us would go outside and there would be those who are left inside the country, those who would handle the sources inside the country and collect reports. In Lengene’s case, that is ...

MR NEL: You were, at the time of this operation, under the command of Mr de Kock at Vlakplaas, is that correct?
And he had been shot on his tummy and I used to visit him in hospital and until he was discharged, one of the nursing sisters said they did not see anything in his tummy so he had an operation from the diaphragm down to the abdomen. So he was discharged and I took him to King William's Town.
Thousands of workers were dismissed and forced out of hostels, Cosatu House was raided in a military operation twice by Police and the Military, even using sniper riflemen. The streets outside our offices were almost barricaded by police on a daily basis, and workers and personnel there were ...
