BOTHA, JHAge Description Did you know that there were no tigers in Africa? // If there were, you wouldn’t have been one of them. The Ngo hearing continue in Bloemfontein this coming week when all 23 implicated policemen are expected to testify. In the latest finding of the Amnesty Committee the issue of racially inspired murders has come under the spotlight once again. In a president setting ruling the Committee has granted ... We prepared ourselves for an onslaught against our people and on the morning of the 9th of October 1980 I heard on SABC news that a group of about 30 black people clad in PAC T-shirts had attacked whites on the Durban beach front. Since we’d already declared war against the National Party and as ... I have no evidence to indicate to me that on any occasion the cabinet that approved the State Security Council decisions ever approved any unlawful act. It would in any case not have been recorded. ‘Torture and Killing: Stanza Bopape’ // ”Bekamp,” fight against, curb, control, ”stuit,” arrest, stem, ”uit die samelewing verwyder,” remove from society. Our purpose was also to show to the PAC and its communist allies that attacks of this kind would not be tolerated. But I’m not here to apoligise, that’s my point with the so-called Truth and Reconciliation Commission. They want me to apologise. I’m not prepared to apologise. Neither the international community at large nor any particular state will dictate to us what the contents of our political programme should be. We have to live in this country. We have nowhere else to go, therefore we ourselves shall find solutions to our problems and we will make them work. Let ... This one guy he was just so bossies, he was actually amusing. I mean whenever you heard helicopters, I mean this is Voortrekkerhoogte, it’s like a military town, helicopters going all the time. This guy heard a helicopter, he would shoot under his bed and he would go into … this guy was … his ... ‘Booby-trapped hand grenades’ // ‘Permanent uit die samelewing verwyder,’ remove permanently from society. Jack Cronje and four other security policemen, Jacques Hechter, Wouter Mentz, Paul van Vuuren and Roelf Venter are applying for amnesty for more than 40 murders. These were mostly Vlakplaas operations. Vlakplaas and the death squad activities of the police have been the focus of the most recent ... I realized that I could have done more to turn the tide of apartheid earlier. I acknowledge that I could have done more in the State Security Council, in the cabinet and in Parliament to ensure that political opponents were not killed or tortured by government institutes. I could have and should ... Dames en here [ladies and gentlemen], can you all hear me? Those who can’t hear me put up your hand and salute me. I stand by everybody who executed legal government orders on our struggle against revolutionary communist onslaught against our fatherland which had to lead to anarchy. I stick to my ... No but you [Max du Preez] are always in front to do wrong things. He’s one of the gentlemen I don’t like. General Mortimer had nothing more to say about the CCB, not that they killed SWAPO leader Anton Lubowski, not that they killed Johannesburg academic David Webster, not that they tried to kill Justice Minister Dullah Omar, not that they bombed and attacked activists and organisations such as the ... All the decisions were taken to cabinet. You were not dealing with State Security Council decisions; you were dealing with cabinet decisions. Cabinet, it can be proved. Not only factually, but that is the constitutional position. So the cabinet was governing. The State Security Council was a ... ‘He’s a very neat and a very tidy man. That is, I suppose, the reason why he always chooses and selects his own clothes.’ This is my land, my native land. This is my South Africa. I’m not going to allow you to interfere in our internal affairs. Keep your hands out of South Africa. We will solve our problems in our own way. Are you going to apologise to the people who died in jail, who died in Lesotho, who died in … // No, I’m praying for them. |
