The application for amnesty in terms of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act 34 of 1995 was considered by the Amnesty Committee.

The applicant applied for amnesty in respect of a charge of committing public violence on the 14^th April 1993 at Magopong Township, Naboomspruit. He alleges that he was a supporter of the ANC and took part in a stay-away after the death of Chris Hani.

It transpired that the charge was scratched from the roll on the 31^st October 1997. According to the court records, charges of rape, murder and assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm were investigated against the applicant.

Notwithstanding numerous letters addressed to the applicant, no response was received. Except for the offence of public violence mentioned above, no particulars of any other offences could be obtained.

The Committee GRANTS amnesty in respect of the offence of committing public violence on the 14^th April 1993 at Mogopong Township, Naboomspruit.

Amnesty in respect of any other offence is REFUSED on the grounds that there was no full disclosure of the relevant facts.

DATED AT CAPE TOWN THIS DAY OF 2000.
