Special Report Transcript Episode 79, Section 3, Time 30:30

Do you recall, because it was of great national importance - at the time it was all over the newspapers and so forth – whether information was passed over to the security branch relating to telephone conversations by Mrs. Mandela at her house at the end of December 1988 and the beginning of January 1989. // On those specific days she alleged that she was at Brandfort but we did pick up her voice and this was all passed onto the murder and robbery unit, Soweto. // You have told us that you recorded telephone conversations which indicated or clearly showed that Mrs. Mandela was present during the time period that she says she was in Brandfort around the Stompie case. Were you surprised that this information was never used in terms of the prosecution against Mrs. Mandela? // I can just say that at one stage they said that the information was too sensitive to use, they did not want to make the information public. // And where do you personally rest the responsibility for nothing happening in this regard? // If the Attorney-General refused to prosecute then nobody could have done anything. We were powerless; we didn’t know what to do.
