Special Report Transcript Episode 35, Section 4, Time 10:51

Early this morning Dirk Coetzee was fetched by the witness protection team to be taken to his amnesty hearing. He’s one of about a 100 people who have been protected since the Commission started. Another was Phumzile Priscilla Ntimbane. // As the Truth Commission have started in Tembisa I got a phone and they told me if you go to the Truth Commission your life is in danger. Even now I’m here knowing that I can die at any time. Maybe if I get out of this place I might be killed. // We will not be threatened, nor will we allow anyone to be threatened and if there is any action taken against people who have come to this Commission and given evidence openly and transparently they will find themselves in a great deal of trouble, both form the Commission and from the state.

Notes: TRC testimony: Phumzile Ntimbane, 28 Nov ‘96; Hugh Lewin (Truth Commission)
