MR VISSER: Yes. Yes, while we're on that point, Mr Chairman, Ms Thabethe has an impossible task, it seems, to bring matters forward.

MR MORRISON: I was arrested. When I was arrested, the people who were behind would continue the struggle.
      "I was amongst the people who chased the deceased, Mr Moeng, from his house and poured petrol on him and set him alight although I could not get a chance to assault and burn him personally due to many people in front of me.  However, I had the common purpose of killing the deceased ...
The applicant stated that he murdered the deceased because he received an instruction from the leader of the Orde van die Dood to kill a person.

MR MANTHATA: It is cruel to experience that in a family. It is very hurtful. And it is also very hurting when that comes the way it approached to you. You didn't know how your child died or who killed him. We might say it was the police who killed him because by that time people were from the ...
MRS NDEBELE: After I received the telegram people came from the ANC at Shell House. They said to me that Lucky has passed away. Then they said they will come to visit me, but up till now no one has shown up at my place.

MR NDLOVU: Okay. Due to the reason that I was young and the codes of conduct stated very well that a person should be 18 in order to join the SDU, I was given my task to make sure that every time when the people who were over 18 which were regarded as the battalion, every time they launch an ...
