ROMEO MBUSO MBAMBO
I was then employed as a policeman working as Esikhawini.  In Esikhawini there was a certain policeman by the name of Gin Mkhize.  One day he came to my house where I was staying and we had some discussions, and we also discussed politics.  And he also introduced himself to me as to who he was, and also his involvement in the IFP as an organisation.  He also asked me if I know about the Israelites.  I said, "Yes, I know about the Israelites, even if I don't have more information about them".  The Israelites were known as a gang, the two hundred (200) Gang which was recruited by the IFP to be trained in Israel, to come back and fight against the ANC within the country in South Africa.  The reason why they were called the Israelites, it was because they never knew where they were taken to.  They thought they were taken to Israel, by they were taken to Caprivi where they were trained.  They were known by all the KwaZulu Police members and that also they were trained to fight against the ANC.  He introduced himself to me as one of those people, and he also told me that there is a difficult situation in the place, in that the IFP people are being killed within the community by the ANC members.  He also said that he has recognised me with Siphiwe Mvuyane, the person I've just explained now.  He trusts me and he believes that I'm also a member of the IFP, and anything that he's going to say to me will be kept secret, and we agreed on that.  And he said that he was sent to recruit me to join the Caprivi group so that we can fight and attack the ANC.  I said to him, "I understand what you're saying, but I can't just easily join your group without having had any contact with the people who sent you to recruit me to be sure that I won't find myself in trouble as times goes on".  And then he took me at that time to one lady, a mother known as Mrs Mbuyase.  This Mrs Mbuyase was a member of the Central Committee of the IFP.  This Central Committee acted as an Executive Committee of the IFP at the time and she was also a leader of the Women's Brigade for the IFP.  I was introduced to this mother by Gin Mkhize and I introduced myself to her and she also introduced herself as Mrs Mbuyase to me, and she told me that I should relax because Gin Mkhize are their members and they were sent by her and the other members from Ulundi, and therefore she is happy to see someone committed like me to come and help and join them to fight against the ANC.  She said I mustn't worry because she's going to arrange a meeting with the senior leaders of the IFP at Ulundi so that we can discuss the matter.  We agreed on that, on that particular day.
