JUNE CRICHTON
Thank you Madam Chairperson.  The statement is as follows,
 "I, the undersigned, Donald John Card do hereby state 
I am retired, 68 years of age, and reside at 5 Avon 
Road, Woodleigh, East London.
 I have been served with a notice by the Truth and 
Reconciliation Commission in terms of Act 34 of 
1995, wherein I am informed that one Shumikazi 
Sarah Jako will be testifying before the Truth and 
Reconciliation Commission and would be implicating 
me.  Once again, it is difficult to answer to lies when 
so little information is made available to me by the 
Commission.
 Also, the date makes no sense because from June 1962 
to 17 December 1962 I was stationed in Port Elizabeth 
and did not work in this area at all.  When I returned in 
December 1962 I was immediately put in charge of a 
serious murder case where two young girls had been 
burnt to death and then in January 1963 I was sent to 
Pretoria for over a month.  The name Jako does ring a 
bell, but I cannot remember if it was a lady from 
Tafalehashe, near Elliotdale, or a lady from Zwelitsha. 
 Both these people were connected to a plan brought 
from the PAC in exile (Lesotho) by a man by the name 
of Clippard Komsana.  The PAC required money and 
plans were set afoot for the Good Hope Textile's 
wages to be robbed, as also the Debe Neck Post 
Office.  Both these ladies were involved, but none of 
them were assaulted by me or anyone else in my 
presence.  The story that they were assaulted in order 
to establish where there husbands was nonsense, 
because Clippard Komsana told us all about the 
intended robberies, and had a message from the 
husband, so there was no reason for assaulting them.
 I cannot believe that the complainants speaks of other 
policemen, yet only mentions my name.  Why is only 
my name remembered?  I find it strange that a number 
of people made false allegations against me and I 
request the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to 
investigate and to find out who is behind this whole 
affair and to have those who are found to be making 
false allegations charged with purgery.
 Signed by Donald John Card.".
