Special Report Transcript Episode 52, Section 2, Time 06:05

During the early afternoon of the same day that Ngxobongwana appeared in court I received a telephone call from an agitated Brigadier van der Westhuysen. I obviously no longer can remember the exact conversation between the Brigadier and myself but the impression was that he’d been severely rebuked because of our actions against mister Ngxobongwana and that he’d been instructed by either the State President or Minister to see to it that Ngxobongwana was released on bail. I was informed that the authorities were fully conversant with Ngxobongwana’s court, that it was not a people’s court, but a tribal court. I was instructed to immediately see to it that Ngxobongwana was released on bail.
