CHAIRPERSON: You were connected were you not, with other incidents where explosive devices were sent to people?

We as the Commission, we will try to help people with regard to this matter. Your request is that if your husband died, you want his remains to be brought back to you so that they can be reburied and I think we will look at this matter.

The Applicant states that all the operations took place in 1990 and there would be a very short space of time between one attack and the next. Initially he reported to Junior in Botswana but later to Happy Letlapa Mpahlela who, with the unbanning of the liberation organisations, was able to ...

MR NGUBANE: Thank you Mr Chairman. Indeed we did go to Umbumbulu area in an attempt to find out whether Mr Wasserman would be in a position to point out the spot where Mr Bhila was eliminated. Unfortunately, we had a lot of difficulty, Mr Wasserman couldn't even remember the turn off which they ...
