MR MBANDAZAYO
Thank you Mr Chairperson.
"We were a unit of five operatives for this operation.  It was myself armed with 9 mm, Monde .375, the commander, Kopane .38, Mike armed with shotgun and Thabang Tjitja not armed.  Only the commander who knew the target.  It was on the 18th January 1994 in the evening and we took a taxi to Parkview.  Whilst we were moving around Parkview the commander pointed the target.  We jumped over the wall fence.  The commander went to peep at the windows and come back and reported that there's nobody.  We heard a garage door being opened and a domestic worker, male one, entered and I pointed a gun at him.  Monde questioned the worker about the whereabouts of the owner and he told us where they sleep.  We tied the worker in his room and left him there.  We then proceeded to the bedroom of the owner.  We heard a car coming and we went out and the car parked in the garage and the owner went to the house.  We saw a domestic worker, female, coming out of the house and we went to her room and we followed her and Kopane tied her.  We then went to the house.  There were four people in the house.  We pointed them with firearms and the other woman was on the phone and we told her to tell the person she was talking to, to come to the house.  We tied all of them and thereafter searched the house.  While searching the house we found a young boy sleeping and we also tied him with the others.  The bell rung on the door.  Myself and Monde went to open and a white person entered and we pointed him with the gun and we also tied him with others.  The commander instructed us to take everything that is valuable and we loaded them in the Mercedes Benz and Toyota Conquest.  We also took bank cards and wrote down pin numbers of these cards.  This was done by the commander.  We drove out of Parkview to Naledi where we offloaded the goods and surrendered everything to the commander.  The commander loaded the goods to the Mercedes Benz and he left.  He came back and told us that these cars have to be taken to APLA in Transkei.  Myself and Monde drove in the Mercedes Benz, Kopane, Mofokeng and Thabang in the Conquest.  I slept on the way to Transkei but I woke up in Bloemfontein and discovered that Kopane, Thabang and Mofokeng were in our car.  We left after filling the car at Bloemfontein.  When we were on our way to Smith Street we heard a tyre  burst and I broke my leg in the accident and Kopane died we were arrested and Monde died in the police station.  Mike Mofokeng and Thabang Tjitja are in prison.  I carried out my instruction and I did not question them.  I however believed in the armed struggle being waged by APLA and that is why I joined APLA to become a soldier.  As an African I was oppressed by settler minority regime who had taken our land, our dignity and our pride.  As far as I'm concerned, the only way to get our land back, Mr Chairperson, the only way to get our land back was through the armed struggle.  I did not act for personal gain nor out of personal malice, ill will or spite against the victims, I bona fide believed that I was acting in the interests of the organisation.  I respectfully submit that my application complies with the requirements of the Act and that I've made full and proper disclosure of my involvement in the above mentioned operation.  Signed by the applicant."
	 Mr Chairperson, there is nothing I'm going to add, that's the evidence of the applicant.  Thank you.
