MR HLOPE
No, I never admitted that.  I even explained to the Judge because that was not the truth.  I couldn't have admitted to him or denied to him and deny it at a later stage.  I denied it from the onset but Mrs Mkhize was planning against me.  I had asked her to help me with Lindiwe's jersey but I never admitted killing anyone.  Whatever she said in court together with the other witnesses wasn't true, I still deny it even today.  I have no reason why I should deny having killed Mr Mkhize because I've already been convicted, I've come to ask for amnesty here.
