MNISI, Johannes (aka 'Victor Molefe')

Age

Description
A senior MK Special Operations operative who survived at least two attempts on his life. In August 1985, SADF Special Forces planted a car bomb in a vehicle intended for him. The ensuing explosion in Gaborone, Botswana, injured and possibly killed an unknown number, but left Mr Mnisi unharmed. Mr Mnisi was one of several targets in a similar unsuccessful operation on 9 April 1987, which left three Batswanan citizens dead and at least three injured. Four Western Transvaal operatives, including the divisional commander, were granted amnesty for their role in the first attempt. Six Security Branch operatives, including the head of Security Branch Headquarters and the divisional commanders of Western and Northern Transvaal were granted amnesty for their role in the latter attempt. No members of Special Forces applied for amnesty for either operation (AC/2001/228 and AC/2000/214).
