The applicant makes application for amnesty in respect of an act of sabotage in terms of Act 34 of 1995 as amended.

During December 1982, the applicant and one Heather Wilkinson (nee Gray) were members of Umkhonto weSizwe, (MK) the military wing of the African National Congress (ANC).

They were attached to a special Operations Unit and were ordered to damage the Koeberg Power Station in the Western Cape. The power station was a key source of power under the previous government. The proposed attack was part of the overall strategy of attacking apartheid and its installations and consequently the previous government.

In pursuance of the order the applicant and Heather Wilkinson (nee Gray) planned the attack and the applicant eventually carried out a successful act of sabotage on the Koeberg Power Station on or about the 18 December 1982. The deed was clearly politically motivated.

The applicant disclosed that 4 limpet mines were planted and detonated so as to cause the said damage.

The Committee is satisfied that the applicant has complied with the requirements of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act, No 34 of 1995 and he is accordingly GRANTED amnesty for the act of sabotage committed at the Koeberg Power Station on or about 18 December 1982.

SIGNED ON THE 31ST OF MAY 1999.
