MS LOONAT
When I was liaising with him, he mentioned the two co-accused, he'd not mentioned the driver which came about during proceedings.  It has left him full of remorse.  More so as one person lost his life that day and another lost the sight in his one eye.  My client has maintained throughout this hearing that it was a politically motivated attack.  Having been subjected to an incessant political warfare in the 80s where he lived and having witnessed the death of friends and the ambushing of the school children and even the death of a lady he most respected, Mrs Ntenye, an ANC stalwart, he knew he had to retaliate to protect his home, his people, their possessions.  After all, he was a fully trained cadre of the ANC Military Wing.
