Winnie Mandela, president of the ANC Women’s League in the new South Africa. One of the most famous women in the world. This film sheds new light on Winnie and her personal team of bodyguards, known as the Mandela United Football Club. We are particularly outraged at her obvious complicity in the recent abductions and assault on young people like Stompie. We believe that had Stompie and his three colleagues not been abducted by Mrs. Mandela’s Football Team, he would have been alive today. The Mass Democratic Movement at this ... Early this morning Dirk Coetzee was fetched by the witness protection team to be taken to his amnesty hearing. He’s one of about a 100 people who have been protected since the Commission started.

TRC Special Witness Protection Team Gideon Niewoudt’s legal team has now asked that all other amnesty applications by Niewoudt should be heard by a different committee than the one that handed down this recent decision.

Our team is preparing a documentary on the experiences of young white soldiers who were conscripted into the old Defence Force. If you want to share your experience, please contact Annelies Burgess by fax or e-mail. Until next Sunday good night. 1995. South Africa reaches out emotionally to the concept of a rainbow nation. This moment is imprinted on our psyche as a time when one nation became a possibility, but today we have to ask is the rainbow nation a mirage? Did it exist? Can it exist? And if it does, is it over? In tonight’s programme we bring you a report on Steven Biko the man and the testimony of those who caused his death. We also analyse the three months in the late 1980s which will haunt Winnie Madikizela-Mandela for the rest of her life. This week the world was told that it was Winnie ... Perhaps this kind of confession, forgiveness and reconciliation are as important in our country as the truth commission process. There will be no Truth Commission hearing this coming week. The commissioners and their staff are taking a rest and having a ‘bosberaad’ at the same time to take ... The Commission also pressed the policemen on their apparent lack of thoroughness in all investigations relating to Madikizela-Mandela. // Could you tell me why further efforts weren’t taken to perhaps try and locate more witnesses or other evidence to corroborate the information that you had ... Perhaps mister Botha’s former cabinet colleagues should take his advice seriously to cooperate with the Truth Commission. More than one of them have been implicated directly in gross human rights violations and there are only 20 days left before the deadline for applications for amnesty. After 14 ... I never told Benzien or anybody else in so many words to assault any of these mentioned people or to make use of the wet-bag method during interrogation. After the first incident during which Jacobs was subjected to the method by Benzien I was however aware of his modus operandi. As set out above, ... After most operations a braai was held at Vlakplaas to celebrate the successes of the unit. The generals were there, eating and drinking. According to De Kock corruption and fraud, ranging from free booze in the Vlakplaas pub, to the filing of false claims worth up to R80 000 at a time was the ... Our team will be in Port Elizabeth this coming week to attend the amnesty hearings of the policemen in whose custody Steve Biko died. Sunday will be our last programme for 1997, so please don’t miss it. Goodnight. Besides the Komati river and the mineshaft versions of where Stanza’s remains are, a former kitskonstabel, Johnny Mokaleng claimed that he was buried in Phokeng. However the TRC excavation team could not find any evidence. The courts have become an important tool for people who don’t like the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In the latest round, four policemen and former policemen have sued the former Cape MEC for safety and security, Dennis Neer, for defamation after he told the Truth Commission in Port ... We’ve all heard of the dramatic stories of Dirk Coetzee and Eugene de Kock’s hit squad at Vlakplaas and the shady army unit, the CCB. And there is an impression that these formed the heart of the apartheid government’s violent strategy of torture and murder against pro-democracy activists. ... The legal battles between the Truth Commission and police officers will continue this coming week. From the Special Report team, goodbye until next Sunday. A bit of good news as we end tonight’s programme; we saw Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Chairperson of the Truth Commission back in action this week after a long absence due to ill health. He addressed a press conference on Friday. We sincerely hope his recovery will be swift and complete. That’s it ... |
