... acts, they were there to gather information on activists and from other sources, but we know that the Security Branch established the thing called Vlakplaas, we know that there were murders committed by the Security Police, why does it follow now that they can make that jump from their ...

The Applicant was a member of the Security Police and at a stage a member of the Vlakplaas Unit. His application is formally in order and he applies for amnesty in eleven (11) incidents dealt with in his application in Schedules 1 to 11. The Committee will refer to the different schedules in its ...

MNR HUGO: "En net om die rekord duidelik te kry, nie mnr de Kock of enige lede van Vlakplaas het sitting gehad op Trevits nie."

FURTHER EXAMINATION BY MR BOOYENS: Mr Kok, you have already given evidence in this application and in your evidence you mentioned that you were present with the people from Vlakplaas when the cassette player was bought along with the earphones, is that correct?

MS CAMBANIS: And this kind of expertise, the chaps at Vlakplaas would have this kind of expertise?

MR BENNETTS: That is how I understood it. Whether they were just used just for information or if they were used for actual operations, as they were from the Vlakplaas issue, to me it was one and the same, it was a chap who had been turned around and was now being used by our guys.

... with two other victims, Sefolo and Makope, was recently linked by evidence led in the De Kok trial by Joe Mamasela. According to Mamasela the Vlakplaas hit squad had tortured Makope and Sefolo until they were almost dead. Jackson Maake was stabbed. They were then driven to Madinyana at ...

MR KENDALL: As far as I knew Joe Mamasela was an Askari who had been transferred from Vlakplaas to Division Northern Transvaal.

... handgrenade to be planted in a car in order to cause the arrest of prosecution of MK members. This happened on the same occasion when askaris from Vlakplaas were used in a trap to arrest MK members who brought weapons into the RSA to be handed to ANC members operating on the Rand. It was ...

... Mr Chairman, I don't think it will be forgery, it might be fraud, but not forgery. It was a genuine passport that these people produced at Vlakplaas. At other hearings that evidence was placed before the Amnesty Committee. They actually built up a history for the person with his ...

MR MANTHATA: But when you leave Mamelodi you pass through Cullinan before you go to Vlakplaas.

MR VISSER: So it's an insinuation? Alright. I just want to place on record that he left Vlakplaas and left the South African Police in December 1981.

... that Mr Willemse who was, I believe, the most junior ranking person involved in the execution of the operation, he was a sergeant at the time at Vlakplaas, the same applies as far as he's a foot soldier is concerned, Mr Chairman. I therefore submit, Mr Chairman, that this Committee can be ...

Like these statements that have been made on TV by Mr Mamasela who - who has been part of the Vlakplaas security network. I was watching him on TV when he confessed that Niewoudt was beating- in fact was responsible for the beating of the PEBCO 3 who disappeared in the ‘80’s

... commuters in Soweto and other places. In those who raped women and killed innocent children, all these including the Gestapo murder squads of Vlakplaas, the Mamaselas, De Kocks, Coetzees and those of the killing fields of Natal. Including all that, we find that all of them "hulle is ...

MR DU PLESSIS: To explain this to the Committee and to make it clear to them with regards to evidence that was given earlier on, C1 was Vlakplaas and it later became C10, is that correct?

allegedly carried out by a Vlakplaas Unit. If you could please just account for us these events.

... us that time. I noticed that some of the names of the people who were part of the interrogating team have featured in other incidences, like the Vlakplaas incident and so forth. It was not surprising that their names popped up there. These men were sort of way above the law. They were way ...

MR LAX: Well then they may have then brought in a specialised unit like Vlakplaas or someone else, to do that.
