Explanation

MS KIVA: Yes, people were assaulted that year.
MR SANDI: In your statement you said you were there when the people were shot at Bisho and today you are going to tell us about what you saw and what happened to you. I will hand over to you so that you tell the Commission about what happened to you.
MRS SIKHOSANA: I thank you. On that day, if my memory serves me right, it was on the seventh. When I got home from the funeral I was cold because my son had been shot by the Councillor. What I was told was that there was no conflict at all. There seems to be a misunderstanding here. What I ...
MR MBANDAZAYO: Will I be correct if I say that you yourself you cannot be in a position to say that in actual fact they did die or a certain number of people who were injured except that what you read from the paper or you heard over the radio?
The ANC people called the medical doctors and my son was buried on the 13th at Stadium of Mahureleng, that's how it happened.
MS NHLAYISI: Can you explain who were the people who were attacking at Slovo, when you were called that you should come and render assistance?
Certainly. --- On the 13th November I was present at the meeting and after the police shot tear gas at the crowd on the soccer field, I then just wanted to get home. What happened later is that the police came to arrest us. They had Casspirs vehicles there and we were loaded one on top of the ...
MR BAKER: Mr Chairman, the first time I heard mention of a problem was on the journey back, it was a discussion between Mr de Kock and Brig Schoon and Mr de Kock said words to the effect that why is it necessary for us to always have to sort out other people's problems. Brig Schoon's reply to that ...
I was involved in the Inauguration of this hall, I went home to buy some cigarettes. I was just standing there and I went to the shop. It was just in between the hall and the Montana Cafè, I was standing there counting my money. While I was counting the money people shouted:
MR MBANDAZAYO: Thank you Mr Chairperson. Just before, Mr Chairperson, I address the Committee which I'll be short, I'd like to say something with regard to what has been - statement by Captain Snyman and the other victim. I wish just to say to them that on behalf of the applicants, I've spoken to ...

CHAIRPERSON: But I wouldn't have thought that you people in the Security Police would have tapped each other's phones?
MR VISSER: He was in Botswana, he met these people, and what happened then?
MR NGHOBENI: "I wanted the community amongst whom I resided to realise that I had been falsely arrested because the police who had arrested me had shown or rendered evidence to the effect that uMkhonto weSizwe members were responsible for killing people."
ADV DE JAGER: If you could just tell us that it appears on such and such a page and confirm it, then we would be satisfied, because I am not interested in where people were born or which schools they attended.
CHAIRPERSON: Would you agree that in the violence that occurred during that time, and in particular I am talking about the Tokoza area, many people died?
This policeman who shot me used to play with the gun. He will just shoot upwards when the people are sitting in Jonas.
