He was then asked if the deceased was opposed to the ... Perhaps some people who are listening to you probably think it is a fairy tale that you are telling. But those who know the gravity of the struggle for liberation in this country, are aware that women suffered a lot in this country in the fight for liberation. The above statements can neither be corroborated nor disapproved since Hani is no longer alive. Although the applicant's evidence in this regard was not satisfactory in all respect, it cannot be rejected as untrue. After all Mr Hani's decision would have been influenced by the information ... CHAIRPERSON: It is Thursday the 14th, and we come now to the application of Conrad Bekhi Magoso, AM4014/96. We have been told that it will not be possible to proceed with this application today, despite the fact that the representatives are here as are members of the families and victims and other ... The second applicant testified that he was carrying a kierie which he used to hit the hostel dwellers at random in the hostel. He also used it to break a hostel window. He cannot identify any person on whom he used his kierie and whether the people he hit with the kierie were killed or not. He ... As an APLA operative the applicant's general instruction from the APLA High Command was to prosecute the armed struggle by all means against the then undemocratic and oppressive "racist minority regime". As part of the armed struggle, APLA cadres had to seek and attack the "bastions and minions" ... MR BOSCH: Chairperson, that is what I heard after the time. I cannot say that it was correct, but I knew that there were people and weapons coming into the country. The Northern Transvaal Security Branch under the command of the 4th Applicant obtained the assistance of Vlakplaas in their search for MK Operatives who were active in the killing of a number of people, including policemen, and other acts of terror. The incident which gave rise to all the above applicants, was the killing of one Brigadier Andrew Molope (herein after referred to as "the deceased") in 1986 in Winterveld in the erstwhile Republic of Bophuthatswana. All four of the applicants were involved, in varying degrees, in the killing of ... MR KWEYAMA: Yes, I do. Mr Msani and Mfanafigele Mkhize were the people who acquired the vehicle. Mr Mthembu had not seen those affidavits at that stage and we discussed it with him and it is obvious that he had to take instructions from his client and the matter stood down and he was informed that after he has taken instructions it might be necessary for us to call the people who made the ... At one stage during the early evening a delegation was sent to secure the attendance of Brigadier Gqozo at the meeting. According to the Applicants their intention was effectively to also hold Brigadier Gqozo once he arrived at the meeting and to compel him to step down as ruler. ... In all the cases of the robbery the targets were private individuals. They were not political targets.

CHAIRPERSON: Have you had an occasion of studying the application form as it stands before us, Mr Molohlanye? You know we don't want people to be shoddily represented. I must say I am a little upset that it doesn't look like this matter again has been properly prepared for presentation. CHAIRPERSON: We welcome you and I will ask you to give your testimony freely. So that all the people inside this hall can hear you very well. I will ask one of the Commissioners to help you with the oath. It emerged from the evidence that the Applicant not only discussed the planning of attacks on military targets, he provided or arranged for the provision of the explosives and detonators used in the construction of car bombs. Unfortunately, no evidence was led before us as to what the ... MS MAYA: You also requested that there have to be a day to remember, to commemorate the people who died on that day. The version of the applicant was to the effect that the two deceased, Mnyakeni and Khumalo, were from Sundra area, but regularly visited and stayed in Mandela Squatter Camp. They were accompanied by other unknown youths. They lived a lawless life, carrying firearms and shooting at random in the ... I think it was a waste of taxpayers' money for them to assemble as many people as they did, when in fact as I say, we invited them to come and fetch Mr Maleka. DR ALLY: I understand that, Mrs Nhlapo but he can always make a statement. It doesn’t have to be to-day. The work of the Commission will go on for at least six more months so there is still time and if you can contact him and ask him if there’s anything that he would want to add to your ... |
