Special Report Transcript Episode 83, Section 2, Time 25:36

Mr Snyman told me that he had a private conversation with Mr Le Grange and that Le Grange had told him that the situation in the Eastern Province needed attention and should be addressed. He wanted to know why these people weren’t being prosecuted, what the problem was and why people responsible for the violence could not be brought to court. Mr Snyman apparently answered that lawful action simply had no effect any longer and that witnesses were simply not obtainable as a result of the intimidation and that the other options such as detention etc. were no longer effective because it simply led to an escalation in the violence. // So we’re talking about restriction orders, detention without trial, banning etcetera. // Yes. // What else did he say? // He told me that Mr Le Grange told him, well then you should make some other drastic plan.
