Thank you Mr Chairperson.
STATEMENT
I,
LOUIS L NONHONHO,
hereby state as follows:
I was previously employed as a Major General in the former Ciskei Police.  Prior to my appointment as Major General, in fact, shortly after I was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, I was placed as head of the Security Branch.        
Shortly before the arrest of Zwelakhe Bikitsha, a typed letter was received by the Security Police in Cambridge, informing them that there were people with firearms and explosives at Zwelakhe's house.  This information was sent to my head office in Bisho and I was sent to investigate.
When I arrived on the scene I saw that two members of the Police had been murdered and another person with an AK47 in his hand was found dead on the scene.
Some weeks later, whilst I was on leave, I was informed that Zwelakhe had been arrested.  I had nothing to do with his arrest and I deny the allegations contained n his charge against me.
I cannot understand why this matter is being brought to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  This matter was previously finalised in the Bisho High Court.  The matter was finalised under Case Number 19/88, when Zwelakhe received an undisclosed sum from the Ciskei Government in full and final settlement of his claim.
therefore, submit that there is absolutely no reason for this matter to be brought before this Commission.
DATED at EAST  LONDON this 4 day of JUNE 1997.
