MR SIBANYONI: The problem we are saddled with, Mr Kruger, is that the Act envisages that people will be acting in authority of publicly known organisations or parties etcetera, now having a letter from the CP, which to an extent indicates that they never advocated a policy of, I would say, carrying ... MR TAKA: That bomb in Viljoenskroon cost bodily injury to at least three people, Margaret Malinga who has lost her hearing, Steven Semelo and Andries Semelo.

CHAIRPERSON: The other people who gave evidence, referred to the Jubilee Hotel, saying that they were called there, were you also called? ... your torture that you’ve described so aptly is reminiscent of so many other stories that we’ve heard.

One cannot believe that things like this could have happened in our country, that people's lives were so cheap.

Norman Peterson left home in 1982 and we never heard from him since 1982. And I heard from his friends that Norman left the country but they didn’t know where.

I would then say, Chairperson, that is the application ... The applicant testified that the incidents he is applying for occurred between the 23rd June 1991 to 26th June 1991.
