Special Report Transcript Episode 4, Section 7, Time 34:20

Why did you kill Mxenge so brutally? // The intention was not to kill him brutally. It was to make the whole thing appear … it was to simulate robbery. But unfortunately in the scene of crime certain things develop that you don’t expect. Mxenge’s physical strength was undermined but when he was stabbed he stood up and he fought. It was a life and death struggle. It was not as if people were there and they killed Mxenge, Mxenge just lie there. He was chasing us around with our knives. You know, it was like a pack of hungry wolves, you know, attacking a prey and the prey was fighting back. It was terrible. // That same night, it was fairly late, after nine on the 19th of November 1989 I reported to Brigadier Van der Hofen, who was staying in the official police flats on the C R Swart square police premises, where I reported that the mission has been completed, that Mxenge was killed.
