I will focus on applicant number 1, Mr Nkwanyana.  We have been throwing around the idea that this may have been conspiracy, however, the technicalities of it would be that one would have to look at this thing in perspective.  Look at the fact that the applicant became a member of the ANC in 1988 and this attack only took place in 1994.  Further to that that the applicant had moved out of the area and had only returned on that particular day of the incident.  Taking all this into cognisance it is obvious that he had no idea of what was going
on, over and above that, if there was a conspiracy, all of the accused together with applicant number 2 were with applicant number 1.  If they intended to conspire, they would have advised him of what they were going to do right after their meeting.  That would have been tantamount to a conspiracy where they would have acted with common purpose and at the same time.
