In October 1991 they decided to break into a house at Louis Trichardt. Jurgens White knew the Roux family and their home well and he knew where to look for weapons. // Mrs. Dubani at that stage was outside, busy sweeping, standing right in front of us. Virtually looking straight into White’s face without actually noticing him because we were camouflaged. But I think she became suspicious at some point. And that’s when White told her in her own language, he greeted her. He said ‘hello’ and she turned around and he then shot her from behind. He then proceeded to cut her throat. At that stage I thought we should withdraw, because the operation was not going according to plan. It was the plan that we would withdraw under those circumstances, but at that stage Mr. Dubani came around the corner, saw Mrs. Dubani lying on the ground and fled down the path. White shot at him, he missed him, and told me to shoot. I then followed Mr. Dubani down the road and fired a shot at him. White came running past me at that stage. Mr. Dubani was lying on the ground. He then slit Mr. Dubani’s throat. We then entered the house. White said we should search the cupboards. We didn’t immediately find the guns. I heard him slamming a cupboard door and he then fired a shot into one of the cupboard doors and I did exactly the same, purely on instinct. It was only later I realised that Mrs. Roux had been inside the cupboard. I didn’t know that before-hand. White then opened the cupboard, slit Mrs. Roux’s throat. At that stage that action had great impact on me. We espoused the cause of the Afrikaner people and now we had killed one of our own people.
