Special Report Transcript Episode 99, Section 1, Time 08:27

Tonight the BBC is broadcasting a documentary narrated by Bridgland which also contains allegations that Mrs. Mandela participated in the killing of Stompie Seipei. The documentary will later be broadcast internationally. Because of its global exposure we feel it is in the public interest to show South Africans what the world is seeing on this issue. We must point out that the contents of this documentary are untested evidence and that it contains a number of subjective interpretations. The sources featured here will face cross examination when their amnesty applications are heard. The Truth Commission will hear Mrs. Mandela’s version of events when she appears before them on the 25th of this month. It will also hear from the convicted leader of the Mandela United Football Club, Jerry Richardson, who is serving a life sentence for Stompie’s murder. Let’s look now at the BBC’s documentary.
