people's war

Explanation

MR SIBEKO: Will I be correct to say that in both incidents you were carrying and AK47 which you used to shoot against the people you were fighting with?
Incidentally who in the Army is deciding that, are they MK people or SADF people?
CHAIRPERSON: Because it has become obvious during the few days we have been here that there are difficulties in conducting hearings here in Durban where the incident took place, in the North or South Coast and where the people live there.
Once at Umgababa he, his co-Applicants and other people from his area joined some sort of self-defence units and engaged in training with firearms and other weapons.

... We find this aspect highly improbable. Ndinisani concedes that he saw the children sitting around a fire in the yard and claims to have fired a warning shot so as to avoid shooting innocent people. His subsequent shooting of the women who he conceded had nothing to do with the attacks, thus ...
The applicants testified that the deceased had been a prominent Inkatha organiser and leader and businessperson who had previously lived in their area but who had left when he joined Inkatha. It was alleged that the deceased had led attacks on their community by Inkatha supporters and that such ...
Crause testified that he accompanied Loots, Smit, Wehrmann and Modise.  He helped Modise to cross the flooded Ramotswe river and thereafter accompanied him to a house which he pointed out as the target to the Special Forces members.  He and Modise then stayed behind while the three members ...
Thank you very much, your story depicts to us how children would loose their parents in a terrible way. So many children are orphans as a result of that. It also reflex the injustices of the previous regime. This is why the Bishop said yesterday sometimes to go to a court of law was never an ...
All the Applicants testified that they then noticed a group of people at the Tavern with Selai who had been captured and was being interrogated and assaulted for having assisted the IFP in terrorising the community. The fourth Applicant stabbed Selai on his hand with a knife. The second Applicant ...
2. The deceased was a chairperson of the ANC in the area. The applicant was an IFP supporter. His family had been killed by ANC people. Applicant had only heard that the deceased was responsible for the killing of his family. However, the deceased was at the forefront of the peace negotiations ...
MR MAUBA: On the day on which we killed the deceased, on my arrival at the home of the deceased, I was one of the people who knocked the door so that the deceased could get out of the house. On knocking ...
These people were innocent people whom he had approached. He had no reason at the time to think they were a threat to his life or political status. It was he who approached them. There was no prospect of achieving any political objective by his actions. We are therefore not satisfied that the ...
MR POTGIETER: Thank you, you may be seated. Welcome to George as well. Mr Lizo, your evidence relates to two incidents. The first one concerns an incident which happened between 1986 and 1987 where you were arrested and tortured by the police, and the second incident relates to August 1993 when ...
But in another way - it could be, because you hear, that all though he was killed in this gruesome way, for the people of the community - he died as a hero. And so as his daughter, you can gain encouragement from the knowledge that you have a father who paid this very heavy price, but gave his ...
... I do know that I was not the only one that was badly injured. Two of the friends that I know personally, one guy had a heart attack straight afterwards, another lady is in hospital at present having a back operation, also I believe was caused by the blast as well, so I just felt that that does ...
MR DLAMINI: There were people who assisted.
MR HUGO: Mr Chairman, we submit that our argument would be the same. What was actually more enlightening was when Mr de Kock said that if the problems with the protection of sensitive information, that they actually went so far as to kill people to protect those sensitive information and details ...
MR NEL: Did you know at all when you went to Khanya House that there were people in the building?
