AC/2001/267

TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION

AMNESTY COMMITTEE

APPLICATION IN TERMS OF SECTION 18 OF THE PROMOTION OF NATIONAL UNITY AND RECONCILIATION ACT NO. 34 OF 1995.

XABISO AARON DINGANE APPLICANT

(AM6428/97)

DECISION

Applicant's amnesty application was heard by the Committee and partly finalised in terms of the decision dated 1 February 1999. That decision did not deal with the application in respect of the unlawful possession of arms and ammunition as part of the robbery incidents which were dealt with. Amnesty was refused in respect of the robberies.

For the reasons more fully set out in the decision dated 1 February 1999, we are also not satisfied that the application in respect of the unlawful possession of arms and ammunition complies with the requirements of the Act. The offence was clearly not associated with a political objective.

In the circumstances, amnesty is REFUSED.

DATED AT CAPE TOWN THIS DAY OF 2001.
