Special Report Transcript Episode 74, Section 5, Time 53:29

Neither the TRC nor the Special Report has been able to find any cabinet or State Security Council documents relating to this. But what is clear is that to this day neither PW Botha nor the then SADF have told the full story of their involvement in the Seychelles coup attempt. Niel Barnard is now the Director-General of the Western Province Government. The Special Report asked him for an interview but Dr Barnard referred us to his lawyer who said he was not prepared to comment. Charles Lloyd was then in Military Intelligence and while he must have been involved in the planning of the Seychelles operation, when he came to the TRC earlier this year he shared no new light on his or the military’s involvement. According to Dolinschek, while he was imprisoned -naked and in chains, senior members of NIS and the South African Government came to Mahé to negotiate with the Seychellois. Dolenschek expected them to visit him.
