Special Report Transcript Episode 76, Section 2, Time 20:44Falati has however been accused by Winnie Mandela of also being involved in human rights violations. // My hands are not dripping with the blood of the African children. I’ve never compromised my comrades. I’ve never even compromised her. I went to prison for her as my leader. // She in effect blames you for their assault and Stompie’s death because you provided the information which led to the assault. What do you have to … // Well you know she regards herself as a … she dehumanizes a person, she reduces a person to nothing. She regards herself as a demigod. She regards herself as a super being. She wants everybody must cover her up by all means. She orders. There are comrades who were taken from their places, the witnesses, to be bribed – they refused – who are going to testify here. Because she wants to be clean all the time, because she regards herself as a demigod. Unquestioning submission corrupts leaders and demeans followers, making a cult out of a leader is always a mistake. // Your allegations regarding Reverend Paul Verryn came from Katiza Cebekhulu. // Yes. // Katiza says he lied. // That’s what I’ve seen on TV. // So that you had no source of information about Reverend Paul Verryn at all. // That is why I’m … you know when Katiza, that thing was shown on TV, I was devastated. // And you lied in court in a registered trial. // Yes I had to protect… // You lied in court at your own trial. // Yes, for the sake of protecting my leader. I had to lie to protect, that was our culture, to protect our leaders. You have seen that Katiza was sent by Mrs. Mandela to mess up with all our lives, including my daughter, who was underage and went to prison for her. That was all fabricated by Mrs. Mandela, sent Katiza, you have seen that. Mrs. Mandela is the one who caused the death of Stompie Seipei and the assault of others. I apologise to Father Paul Verryn. You know he is a man, when you ask him for one mile he takes you two miles. He has … the African children. // You maintained a lie against Reverend Paul Verryn for many years. He’s the person who offered you sanctuary; he offered you a home when you didn’t have a home. He could have also been regarded as one of your leaders. // Yes. // Yet you were prepared to maintain a lie which could possibly have destroyed his life. Why? // There was no choice. I have told you that when you are dealing with Mrs. Mandela yours is not to reason why, yours is to do and die.
