MR KOOLE: Chairperson, I saw him that he was present during the interrogation but I'm not able to testify that he took part or which part during the interrogation but he was present in the interrogation team even in the assault. In the period 3 September 1984 - to 16 April 1994 I was part of the Security Branch in Soweto. During this period as a member of the investigating team known as the Terrorist Tracing Unit I was a component head and my function was investigating of security matters. MR BOOYENS: Who would have been the commanding, in command of the investigation or interrogation team? 17B/17 "and 12th May of the same month.

MR DERBY-LEWIS: Mr Chairman, when we consulted it actually came out that I was not referring to the late Chris Hani as a former commander, I was referring to him as the commander of MK and my legal team then advised me to change it. A well functioning health team needs to be comprised of a whole range of professionals such as nurses, doctors, therapists, lab technicians, pharmacists and dentists. At no time while we worked at the Bethesda was there ever such a team. This is problematic for the following reasons: MR DE KOCK: Chairperson, it would not only have been Mr Ras. It was such an operation, it was a team operation, a team effort, it was not only one person who had the information, it would have been discussed in a group. MR PRETORIUS: Yes, anti-revolutionary task teams. Yes, honourable chairman the anti-revolutionary task team. Then on September 13th I was taken out of the house.

I worked out first a list of officers who could participate in such an attack and it was finally ... GEN WEBB: We had to give our full co-operation with the investigation team, namely Gen Badenhorst and Brig Engelbrecht. And there were many of the young people that came from some of these areas, and these issues were discussed.
