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.

When the Applicant addressed Ngubane his response was the same, namely that he was crazy as well. Seeing that they were not going to secure any co-operation from Ngubane, they left. It was the Applicant, Motaung, Temba and his friend. Temba told them that some of his clothes were being kept at ...

MR NKOSI: His problem is that the operation is so extensive. And also his hands isn't well. They make it difficult for him to cope when it comes to work under heavy conditions or doing some tough work.
MRS OLIFANT: I am not working, I am sick, I am just staying at home, I am sick. I have so many diseases, I have just done an operation now recently.

I confirm comrade Robert's submissions on this operation. We were at that stage concerned the Labour Party supported a State of emergency and cross-border raids. We understood Mr Leaf as a legitimate target."
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, you saw that there was a lot of blood and then you thought that it would be prudent to examine his injuries because it might be more serious than what you thought. Were you informed of the plan to abduct him prior to the execution of the operation?

At any time after the shooting first started, did the police or anyone come in and say look there is a police operation going on and for your own safety let’s take you somewhere safe. Did they show any concern for your safety.

We then realised that the aims of the SDU were being defeated because of the co-operation between these people and the ISU. SANCO then took a decision that plans had to be made so that Bongi and the others could be won over to the side of the residents once again.
Because the one we have speaks of Welkom. It's not just "kill ten Black people for one White person killed" it refers to Welkom, the one I have? There it confines the operation strictly speaking to Welkom?
MR NIEUWOUDT: That is to obtain information from him and then possibly to get his co-operation and then also possibly to give testimony, evidence in a case when he should be charged according to the law and then to get the necessary information.
