STATEMENT BY THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION

Issued by: Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Amnesty Committee of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has identified a number of people who might be considered as victims of gross human rights violations arising out of information provided by applicants whose amnesty applications have been processed so far.

The names of these people or their next of kin have been referred to the TRC's Committee on Reparations and Rehabilitation for consideration. Those found to be victims, as defined in the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act, will be immediately eligible to apply for interim reparations to the President's Fund.

The Commission has managed to contact some people whose names have been mentioned in these amnesty applications. However, there are others which the Commission has not been able to trace due to the paucity of details provided by perpetrators in their amnesty applications. The TRC appeals to the following people or their next of kin to contact its Cape Town office urgently so that they can provide the Commission with additional information before they can be eligible for reparation.

These people are; Anne Foster, Ngxumza Solethu Mpisane, Anderson Bongani Mpisane, Ndimphiwe Ntekiso, Eric Xeketwana, Peter Anderson, Ian Bodington, Shane Butler, Mr Cullis, Arno DeBruin, David Du Toit, Stefanie Greef, Michael Louw, Michael Mihuru, Karen Padley, Willem Swanepoel, Brenda Till, Derek Tobin, Greshna Williams, Makwarel Dobani, Wilson Dobin, Maria Claudine Roux, Charles Zenzile Joseph Dlamini, George Mkomane, Thulebona Phoswa, Singiphelile Sithole, Dumisani Mthembu, Felaphi Phillip Dlamini, Muntu Mkhize, Bheka Phoswa, Mahawu Anthon Shezi, Andile Ngcobo, Mavis Ngcobo, Nomkahes Ngcobo, Peter Ngcobo, Phakamile Mavis Ngcobo, Thandazi Ngcobo, Mahluleli Makhanya, Patrick Bheki Zwane, Simiso Msomi, Bernard Dumisani Ndebele, Jerome Dlamini, Zakhele Wilson Dlamini, Phucuyise Doyisa, Thokozani Catherine Lufundo, Gabriel Livingstone Mbhele, Dumisane Thulani Mchunu, Lindiwe Memela, Wiseman Mnqayi, Justice Siphiwe Mthembu, Fundeyakhe Isaac Mtshali, Nichalas Kwaziwakhe Ngema, Sipho Richard Zulu, Wanton Matshoba, Cyprion Sazise Qheliso, J Oostenhuizen, Pretorius Ferdinand Van Heerden, David Mayeko, Mr Sgotlo, Erica Shelly Basson, Michael Belehe, Mark Casey, Johannes Van Niekerk, Masusu Ntema, Albert Seabata, Hendrik Grobelaar, Mr Makoloi, Nomsa Hanabe, Foli Bushula, Mpumelelo Mbinqo, Archie Booi Swartland, Mbulelo Vellem, Mkuseli Vellem, Wazina Yekani, Nomangwana Mandita and Nomsa Mpangisa.
