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.

MRS MTHOMBENI: There was no co-operation during that time. There was some misunderstanding at that time. If perhaps a school child could die, people were marching, teachers did not actually conduct the normal classes. So there were a lot of disturbances. The police were always surrounding the ...
CHAIRPERSON: Also he was Head of Special Ops which was a far bigger operation, this was just a part of it.
MR LAMEY: And did you then report any further on the course of the operation?
MR WILLS: And you used - for this purpose you used the 9mm pistol that you had got for the operation, is that right?
The operation was planned for the night of 5/6 March 1994 but unbeknown to the applicants the police was tipped-off, allegedly by Pedlar. Reinforcements were sent to the police and what was foreseen as an easy task, became a shoot-out in which Mr Jaggers was killed and Messrs Nyanguna and ...
In terms of the matters of operation in the underground, it was vital that we needed to delay the matter so as to test the trustworthiness and commitment of Modise, the Rustenburg based activist. In the mean time we kept on supplying Modise with more political literature to acclimatise himself ...
ADV GCABASHE: Was there a particular commander in charge of this operation?

My operation then troubled me, it’s my winds that were troubling me. There were doctors there, every morning I went to doctor it was quite serious. The one policeman had a hammer, he wanted to hit my knuckles with the hammer. I told him that I’m not well. He then said - he then said they must ...
MS ANDERSON: Yes, we didn't have a big enough operation from there.

MS GELDENHUYS: I had to wait a certain period of time before undergoing surgery. Tissue had to be grafted and grown on my legs. Now apparently this operation cannot be performed in this country, it has to be done overseas, maybe things have changed now perhaps after such a lapse of time but ...
I agree with you that he very distinctly said he didn't understand why it took a week for them to carry out the operation, he wasn't involved in the planning. That was his evidence, let's move on.
... the facts of this matter required the use of the motor vehicle and the taking of the motor vehicle was a necessity to finalise that act or the operation so to speak. So in that sense I submit that in casu, the taking of the motor vehicle and the malicious injury to that motor vehicle at the ...
