HEARINGS ON THE BOIPATONG MASSACRE

Issued by: Truth and Reconciliation Commission

Hearings on the Boipatong massacre will resume for the fourth time on Monday at Van Der Byl Park near Vereeniging. The hearing will be held at Iscor Recreational Club from May 3 to 21.

During the past three sittings, all sixteen IFP applicants explained their role in the massacre which left close to 50 people killed.

One applicant, Andries Nosenga whose evidence is still going to be heard, differs with his co-applicants in defining the events of that fateful night of June 19, 1992.

While all sixteen applicants have denied police and party political involvement in the massacre, Nosenga has implicated senior Vaal Triangle policemen who have been duly notified.

Inquiries: Phila Ngqumba - 082 458 8463.
