| Time | Summary | | | 24:55 | This political validation was borne out in the amnesty findings this week. In an unusually swift decision Patrick Ndlubini and two other Cape Town self defence unit members: Two-Boy Jack and Maxim Phakamisa were granted amnesty before the week was out. The Committee found that all three had attempted to murder policemen with a political motive. | Full Transcript and References | | 25:18 | Not all amnesty applicants are successful. The Amnesty Committee also announced this week that four other men who applied for amnesty should remain in jail and pay for their brutal crimes. | Full Transcript | | 25:31 | In September 1990 four white motorists drove into Kutloanong township near Odendaalsrus. Hours later Anthony Casey, Johannes van Niekerk, Michael Belelie and Shelly Basson were dead, attacked by residents who assumed they were Inkatha supporters. Shelly Basson’s genitals were mutilated and her one breast cut off. Three Free State men pleaded for amnesty for the murders claiming they had a political objective to defend their community. | Full Transcript and References | | 26:04 | You were there to protect not to attack, not to kill. // Yes it is so sir. // Can you explain how you can possibly think you were protecting anybody when these four people were being beaten by a vast crowd? Why should it be necessary for you to join in beating them with an iron rod? | Full Transcript | | 26:31 | This week the three were denied amnesty. The Committee said that Philip Matela, Jeremiah Moikabi and Thami Hlobo had no political objective to murder. They had no reason to attack the four motorists, had not been truthful about the event and had acted in a situation of mob violence. | Full Transcript | | 26:43 | Ntsikelelo Don Johnson was also denied amnesty. In February 1991 this Eastern Cape youth had attempted to murder Mrs. Nomsa Hanabe because she refused to resign from the black local authority in Klipplaat. Mrs. Hanabe was badly injured and is now disabled. The Amnesty Committee found that Johnson’s attack on her was totally out of proportion to his political objective. | Full Transcript and References |
