AMNESTY HEARINGS IN PORT ELIZABETH ADJOURNED

Issued by: Truth and Reconciliation Commission

September 11, 1997

The amnesty hearings taking place in Port Elizabeth have been adjourned until Monday September 22. The hearings will resume with the applications of policemen in relation to the deaths of Siphiwe Mtimkulu and Topsy Madaka.

The hearings arising from the death of Steve Biko will resume in December.

The changes to the hearings schedule have been dictated largely by the availability of lawyers for the hearings.
