MR MALAN
Thank you, Mr Chairman.
	Mr Nombanga, due to practical problems we were not in a position to furnish this Committee with a written affidavit, would you please in your own words inform the Committee of your involvement with the abortive Craig Duli coup and beginning with the background where you enlisted with the police and so forth.
MR NOMBANGA
"Yes, I can explain that my role in this mission started in 1989 when I was serving under the Security Police, with Col Booi in charge, at the head office.  We were mandated to investigate about the attempts that were taken by some people whose intentions were to overthrow the government.
	A certain team was elected from the Security Police and some members from other units, compiling the team who was going to be in charge of this, look for the people who were planning to overthrow the government.  I was one of the members of the team.
	When it was discovered that the people who were holding meetings across the Transkeian borders, people had to go to those places were the rumours came from that people were holding meetings.  One of those places was Queenstown.
	Investigations took place till some people were caught or arrested.  I was one of the people who were arresting those people and I remember Craig Duli, Xholisi Mtjali, Mazizi Ntisane, Mxeshe, Vuyisa Mxeshe, Ben Mooi, Mr Malotane. Those were the people that I can still remember very well when they were arrested, but there were others but I cannot remember their names.
	When they were arrested we would investigate their movements and they would give details and those details would be handed over to the government and the Attorney-General, Mr Christo Nel.  Another person who was arrested was Mr Vanda, a person would take the statements and hand them over to the Attorney-General and from there the copies would go the military council.  Col Booi the one that I was serving under, would go and hand over those statements.
	I would get information from Col Booi, updating me as to what was happening about those people because all those people were later arrested in the prisons here in the Transkei.  We were moving around trying to investigate and get the details.
	In about September 1989 - I beg your pardon, in August 1989, some young boys were arrested who were coming from Gauteng, five of them.  It was said that those young boys were sent by Mr Vulindela Mbotoli, who was one of the people who were also implicated in this attempted overthrowing of the government."
