Special Report Transcript Episode 26, Section 2, Time 07:10

Brigadier Jack Cronje, former commander of the Northern Transvaal security branch calmly told the Amnesty Committee of yet another calculated and chilling execution in 1986. The victims, ten young men from Mamelodi who were poisoned and then blown up in a minibus. They were killed because they wanted to go for military training with the ANC in Botswana. There was no question of arresting or detaining them, Cronje said. For the first time the members of the Amnesty Committee, particularly Judge Hassan Mall were visibly shocked at the gruesome details placed before them.
