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 DE KOCK: Chairperson no, I cannot recall. The deployment was a normal deployment, it wasn't a special request for a special covert operation, in other words something underhand.
CHAIRPERSON: Tell me, his arrest near Grahamstown was put into operation, or succeeded with because of a roadblock as I understand, not so?
MS LOCKHAT: When you discussed the plan of this operation, what was the other people to do, where were they supposed to be situated at the Tattersalls, what was their location? You were going to be the driver, Linda was going to have the firearm, where were the others going to be?
MR HATTINGH: If Mr de Kock had been present at the time when Mr Mngomezulu was abducted and interrogated no doubt he would have taken charge of the operation, not so?

MR BOOYENS: Mr Coetzee you could not be certain at the stage when you and Nick van Rensburg discussed this that even that Schoon would okay this operation, which on what you describe to me looks like a private enterprise and certainly not anything to do with police work.
De Kock's version about his visit to Van Rensburg's office is corroborated by Ras who indicated that he accompanied de Kock to van Rensburg's office, on the day of Nieuwoudt's visit to Pretoria, where reference was made to the Port Elizabeth operation.
MR ROSLEE: Chair I have no idea. I wasn't in any of the meetings, discussions taking place with regard to the infiltration or anything like that. At that stage we were busy running around looking for a bunch of terrorists and I wasn't involved in the nitty-gritty, in the planning of the operation.
CHAIRPERSON: So Thabiso in this operation, Thabiso was commanding?

MS LOONAT: Please bear with me one moment. Mr Chunene, on page 10 of the Bundle, point 3, you say that, the last line of point 3 that you were not the Commander, but you were the one who planned the operation, is that correct?
