DECISION

The Applicant applies for amnesty for the unlawful establishment of a weapons cache (DLB) in the Swaziland/Pongola border during 1992.  In his application form he states that the nature and quantity of the weapons are unknown to him.  He furthermore alleges that he did not "cross the border".  It is difficult to find exactly what the involvement of the Applicant was and whether the arms cache was created in Swaziland or in the Pongola district.  The Applicant's reference to himself not having crossed the border, suggests that it was in Swaziland.  If so, it is difficult to establish whether the Applicant has indeed performed any act constituting an offence.  The Applicant furthermore does not rely on any specific order and merely states that Captain Eugene de Kock was his overall commander.

The Committee requested further particulars and despite having written several letters has received no reply.

No offence has been disclosed and neither has a full disclosure of material facts been made.

The application is accordingly REFUSED.

SIGNED AT CAPE TOWN THIS THE 30TH DAY OF MAY 2001
