"I gave these hand grenades to Eugene de Kock and his team" MR SIBANYONI: Were you part of the team which brought him back from Lesotho to Ladybrand?

The Soviet must be stopped in Southern Africa. We need your help as a team to stand up against the evil CHAIRPERSON: Thank you.

Then we asked Mrs Msimang, "Mrs Msimang, you say Xola was a hero?", "Yes". "You've seen your heroes, the security force?" "Yes".
