According to my knowledge this Operation Katzen it was planned in Transkei by Illisolomzi Military wing of the Peoples' Rights Protection Party.   This operation was to overthrow the late Mr Sebe who was the President of Ciskei at the time.  This operation was to be carried out by this Party that I have already mentioned and its military wing assisted by the Transkei Defence Force and other members of the Military Intelligence of South Africa.
	This happened and its aims were to overthrow the existing Ciskei Government then.   This happened because there was an attack in Bisho during February 1987, I cannot recall the date exactly as it is quite some time now.   The aims of this operation was to unite these two homelands, starting at Mzimkulu up to Gamtoos River. 
	Secondly, it was to suppress the political organisations that were in the border region.  If I can recall clearly information that we got was that since it was known by the Military Intelligence of Transkei and Illisolomzi and the South African Military Unit the intention was to suppress all the political parties in the border region in order to prepare for the elections so that the National Party should win.
