I was a Captain in the South African Police, second in command of Section C1, Vlakplaas.   I was visiting our operational team in Durban, who were based in the facility near Amanzimtoti from which the teams were operating.  The team fell under the command of the South African Police Security Branch Divisional Headquarters at the area where they were deployed.  In this instance, they fell under the command of Capt Henti Botha and Gen Steyn of the ...(indistinct) Security Branch.  A safehouse used by trained MK cadres infiltrating from Swaziland, had been identified in kwaMashu.  An askari, Jimmy Mbane, posing as an MK cadre had infiltrated the facility which was run by an old woman, unknown to me.   Members of her family were Umkhonto weSizwe members and she was a loyal ANC supporter.  The purpose of the operation was to arrest four MK members who were to infiltrate from Swaziland and report at the facility.  The askari had to determine when they would arrive. After six weeks the cadres had not arrived and the askari's version of events was being questioned by Capt Botha.   The askari, still pretending to be an MK member, met with her and she was apprehended by Capt Botha and his team and brought to our base near Amanzimtoti.
