MR MOTHUPI: At that time they were using, policemen were using teargas because students used old vehicles to block the roads. Some prevented people from going to work. It was during those violent times.
The Amnesty Committee finds that the following people are victims and are hereby referred to the Reparation and Rehabilitation Committee for its attention.
MR VERSTER: Chairperson, if I might put it as follows, we were Special Forces Headquarters with various operational bases in the Namibia environment and in South Africa. Some of the operatives lived in Phalaborwa, others in Zululand, others in Langebaan, some of them in Durban, and it was normal ...
MR J F KOK: Well it's very difficult to answer, but I think if you use your logic, as I understood it this post box that was used is like a dead letter box, people are tasked through these post boxes, they receive orders, so it's not one specific person who uses that post box. They do not want to ...
CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR DU PLESSIS: May I proceed Mr Chairman, thank you. Mr Goosen, the information that you had with regard to Morudi and the people that would have been in the house that night, do you agree with Mr Momberg's evidence as far as that is concerned, the question that I asked him?
... however we are of the view that all those who took part in the preparation and posting of the device knowing it was a bomb must have been aware of the danger of such a device exploding and accidentally killing or injuring people in the vicinity.  It had happened to a previous parcel ...
Although he might have used the vehicle for a political purpose, the persistent denial is a problem. We are not a Court of Appeal. Obviously the Magistrate disbelieved him, hence the conviction. We have turned down many such applications in the past, otherwise we would have opened the door for ...
The applicant's version before us is that he never entered the house in question. He says all the shots were fired from outside as he continuously moved from one spot to another,such as from door to window, shooting blindly. He says he never specifically aimed at any of the victims. That each ...
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.

He was elected chairperson of the Danganya Youth League at Umgababa which subsequently became the branch of the ANC Youth League when political organisations were unbanned in 1990. He ...
During 1989 the Applicant assisted in transporting arms from Namibia to Vlakplaas.  The Applicant understood the reason to have been to prevent the arms from falling into the hands of SWAPO (the South West Africa People's Organisation).  He is unable to state whether the weapons were at ...
MR MATHIBA: We do not know, because he doesn't speak to people. But we hope that he will give us a piece of information. He transported him with his van to Sebong Hospital. He should just tell us what happened to our child.
MS PATEL: Alright. Given that there were nine people there and that the premises were an average size, it's strange that one person was allowed to escape, not so?
The offences were committed during an incident which occurred on 5th March 1993. On that day the two applicants and one other person, who's name was given as Siphiwe Zondi, ambushed a minibus and raked its occupants with automatic weapons. As a result of this attack the deceased and the other ...
I am very glad that Nonqulana was mentioned here today and it was clarified that Nonqulana is a historical mountain, so that the next generations know that this was the origin where people died for the land.

In compliance with Prinsloo's orders they on a particular day, left in a Peugeot 404 Station Wagon. On arrival Moses Morudi was not present and the elderly people they found in the house informed them that he had gone out and would be back shortly.
On their own evidence they believed that Memela and his companions were trained "terrorists" armed with weapons and explosives, who had been responsible for the attack on Winnington Sabelo's family and who were en route to attack a black Counsellor. It is thus clear to us that the applicants ...
MR VABAZA: The third applicant, Mr Chairperson and members, is Mabitana Mani. He is also amongst the five group of people.
