Hello. Our main focus tonight is on the four cabinet ministers who appeared before the Truth Commission this past week. But we also have a report on the role that Intelezi, some people call it muti, plays in a conflict in KwaZulu-Natal. Let me introduce you to the four actors who starred in this ...
Alright, you want to go back to… // No simply I think the George Bizos example’s good, also for the Biko killers. We heard these probing questions and unlike the original so-called inquest where half the stuff couldn’t be brought out, at least the public… and I take Herman’s point that it ...
That’s the end of tonight’s Special Report. The Truth Commission will have sessions in Umtata and George this coming week. Goodnight.
Thobeko Maseko’s husband, Nelson became unpopular with the ANC Youth League when he criticized them for marching a girl naked through the Plettenberg township in March 1990. // This young man went for him, the three of them Sishuba, Tyki and Sabata. There’s a fourth one whom I didn’t know but ...

In George, the local ANC is getting ready for their day of showing their anger and protest. // Comrades, if we were to put down all the crimes of PW Botha, this wall is too small. We left out Ashley Kriel, we left out District Six, we left out Sophiatown; we left out Cato Manor. We left out so many ...
Good evening. Units of the South African Defence Force carried our raids on ANC targets in Gaborone, Botswana today. // Gen Viljoen told the news conference that the death toll included three trained women terrorists while two unidentified persons who fired on the South Africans from a vehicle ...
