| Time | Summary | | | 01:29 | ‘On 2 December 1988, New Hanover police Captain Brian Mitchell ordered the elimination of a group of UDF members. The operation went wrong. Eleven people attending a night vigil were killed.’ // It was just I think the driving force behind it, behind the motives of the security establishment was to drive the opponents, the UDF, the stronger side out of Trust Feed so that it is left within the hands of say in this case Inkatha, that it becomes a no-go area and they can within themselves exist. | Full Transcript and References | | 02:18 | So in that meeting a plan was hashed, OK do go and finally drive UDF out, but I must stress that they felt that my shop, my house, my family home were the nucleus or were the base of the UDF. So, that is where they planned to hit. If they hit us flat-out then their mission would be complete | Full Transcript | | 02:41 | The whole operation went wrong, where the wrong people became victims. // The community of Trust Feed has also requested me to advise the Amnesty Committee that they would try to forgive mister Brian Mitchell if he becomes actively involved in the reconstruction of the community that he was responsible for destroying. // ‘Mitchell was later granted amnesty.’ | Full Transcript | | 03:08 | ‘Mitchell goes back to the Trust Feed community to offer his help with the healing process.’ // I want you to tell me about your views today… // I have eight children and he died on the 3rd of December 1988. There is not even a cent that I am getting. I have to look after myself. I wash clothes for Indians in Durban because I want to take care of my children. I have children that have passed matric and they have not furthered their studies because their father is not here anymore, who died because of Mitchell. When we were at the TRC hearings Mitchell said that he is determined to work hand in hand with us. Where I wish for help is that he should support my children. I have no home, my house was burnt down. I have nothing. I stay in rented rooms. There is nobody who provides for me; there is nobody buying food for my family. Brian Mitchell should tell me what he will do for me and my children. // Brian, you are here today in Trust Feed. The community of Trust Feed has some ...more | Full Transcript | | 06:21 | I forgive him because he has come and asked for forgiveness because there is nothing we can do. They are dead. But all I would like to appeal for is that they should help with my eight children. // If I had to say to the community exactly which path I’m taking and that path doesn’t mature or materialize, obviously then it’s a bad reflection on myself. So I would rather have the community identify the way we should go and let us do it combined and not let it be just my show, I want a community show. | Full Transcript | | 06:59 | I have nothing to say to him. I want to build my house because I am living in the mountains. I have nowhere to stay. I stay in a small house. I have no children anymore. Brian Mitchell wiped out all my children. I forgive him. Even though the Lord is watching some days I would sleep without eating because I could not eat. He has killed the children who provided for me. | Full Transcript | | 07:28 | Brian Mitchell departs | Full Transcript |
