MR MBANDAZAYO
Thank you Chairperson.
"I, the undersigned, Oupa Lerato Kgotlhe, do hereby make an oath and say that I'm the applicant in the above matter having submitted my application whilst being held at Grootvlei maximum prison, Bloemfontein.  The facts to which I depose are true and correct and within my personal knowledge unless the context indicates otherwise.  I was born in 1971 at Hoopstad, Free State Province.  I grew up in Wesselsbron where I did my primary education up to Standard 6 in 1984.  In 1985 my family moved to Botshabelo near Thaba Nchu where I left school at Standard 8 due to financial problems.  I joined PAC through Azania 1986.  In 1990 I left the country to Zimbabwe to Tanzania where I joined Apla and did my military training.  I came back from Tanzania at the end of 1990 and I was posted at the PAC headquarters under the command of comrade Inox Zulu and the late Jan Shoba.  Late in 1991 I was deployed in the Free State Province.  I was involved in about seven operations and I have applied for amnesty in all of them.  I confirm that I commanded the unit which split from Pila Dolo's unit that attacked houses that belonged to policemen and security personnel in the South African Lesotho borders on the 10th December 1992.  I confirm that I went with Jabu to the other house, I was armed with R4 rifle and hand grenade and Jabu was armed with an Uzi and Molotovs.  We went to the house which was plus four houses from the one Pila Dolo's unit attacked the same night.  I broke the window with the rifle butt and Jabu threw Molotovs and also threw a grenade and also fired shots.  Thereafter we retreated and joined the other unit which was commanded by comrade Dolo.  The affidavit of comrade Dolo has been read to me.  I understand the contents and I confirm it insofar as it relates to me and specifically request that same be incorporated in this affidavit.  I respectfully submit that my application complies with the requirements of the act and that I have made full and proper disclosure of my involvement in the Ficksburg operation and I accordingly humbly request that my application for amnesty be granted."
Chairperson, now I would ask Mr Kgotlhe then just to give clarity on certain issues.
	Mr Kgotlhe, Mr Dolo has testified before this Committee and told the Committee that he was called by you from Sterkspruit to assist him.  Can you in your own words give full picture to the Committee as to what actually happened, how did you come to the decision that these houses should be attacked?
