Inkatha

MS VAN DER WALT: Your commando or the division of which you were the commander did you have anything to do with Inkatha?

MR MBAMBO: It is the Inkatha Freedom Party.

... he was asking for too high a price. He wanted to take them from us, so we refused because if we had given them to him, he would have sold them to Inkatha, so we decided not to return them to ...

When we did that, going to that no-go area, when we were about to reach Khumalo Street, we took cover in another house. We saw this person. There was a group of Inkatha members with AK47's. She talked to them and we saw her talking to these IFP members with AK47's.

I remember one day on our way to Mazibuko there was this group of people who were standing further up, busy shooting. We went to Mazibuko and on arrival there was seemingly an Inkatha meeting. We wanted to disrupt that meeting because we knew what the agenda was.

MR KRUSER: The information was to the fact that Inkatha would use the march to attack Shell House. There was no specific group.

we were in at that time was tense, the situation was tense, because in Kothlanong township in Odendaalsrus Inkatha Freedom Party was coming to attack the comrades, then I took it that these people are coming to attack the comrades, because they came to Mashengoville and they are coming to attack ...

MR MATHEBULA: These people were just shooting at random. Inkatha was just attacking everybody.

MR NORTJE: Well, basically to anybody who wanted to buy the arms. They didn't really care to who they sold these weapons. Members of Inkatha bought these weapons, ANC members bought the weapons, we asked them specifically and they said that they didn't really care who bought the weapons.

MR SHANE: Right, now before Beki, before Beki Khanyile was killed, can you tell this Commission what actually happened to your family’s home at the hands of members of the Inkatha Freedom Party?

I left the place and I was ungovernable then. I took my gun and I went back where I was injured and I thought I was going to console myself with the fact that I had been injured and injured for the truth by Inkatha against the community.

MR SIPHO: And you would agree then that the HLH compound was inhabited by members of Inkatha Freedom Party?

It is quite clear from his evidence that he had no reason whatsoever to believe that these people were Inkatha supporters or that they were there to launch an attack on the local residents. There is nothing in the evidence of the first or second applicants to suggest that the act committed by ...

Were they active in one political party? Were they members? --- Yes, they belonged to Inkatha.

MRS MALATSE: I came with Tidiso Insufeni at a very young age Tafeni. When he was a young man that's when he was attacked by Inkatha.

"We did see him on one occasion where he sold hand guns and rifles to Inkatha Freedom Party supporters."

MR NGUBANE: In 1985, we have heard that there was a fight between the UDF and the Inkatha Freedom Party, do you confirm that?

MR TWALA: We were defending the community against the Inkatha Freedom Party members.

MR SIBIYA: Mr Sithole was a full time member of Inkatha, so much so that he could not hide his activities or his membership. I could say he was a staunch member of the IFP, so much so that at times when he walks passed us, he would call us all sorts of names.

MR GUSHU: As I have already said, I received most information from Keswa, that they were trained at Makusi Camp from Ali, therefore it meant that Ali was training these people at Makusi Camp, the Inkatha people.
