MR O'FARRELL
I by all means deny or wish to deny any forms of amnesty.   My opinion of this Truth Commission is where the entire truth should be told in order to reconcile the nation.   However, I have noticed since day one, with the applicant, Mr Sambo, that both with the inquest, with the criminal hearings, and even today, everything he says, I must quote one of His Honourable Judge Curlewis's statements, where he states
"It's a viagra of nonsense",
which I totally agree with.   He by no means even touches on the proper truth of this matter, I don't know where he got these stories from, each time he seems to attempt to - when he's asked a question, he then tries to swing the answer so as to into his favour, which he also then tried with the court hearing.   He also stated that he speaks only partial English, as he stated in the court hearing, where he said he only spoke partial Afri..., where he didn't speak Afrikaans at all.    However, as noted through this entire day, he is asked several questions in English, but before the interpreter can start, he's already answered it back in Swazi.   So I feel that is also just a blatant lie and just an extra part of his character.    That is basically that.  And I believe that the fact that Warrant Officer Van der Spuy was disarmed and then shot in cold blood, and his fact that he reckons we're assassins is a blatant lie, I was a 20 year old constable, and Warrant Officer Van der Spuy a 32 year old man with a four year old daughter and a wife.   His daughter's last words to us before we left that morning were "Totsiens Papa" and she was crying on the front stoep of that house, and for that reason I will never forgive the accused.   He has put me through absolute hell, I've undergone over 18 months of psychiatric help, I've both been into a psychiatric clinic for evaluation, because of suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome, and by all means, if I was indeed an assassin, I promise you I would not be suffering from either of these.   That is all, madam.
