ROADBLOCK KILLERS DENIED AMNESTY

EIGHT members of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging were denied amnesty for murdering four people and injuring six others at a bogus roadblock west of Johannesburg in December 1993. The eight men told the Truth and Reconciliation’s Amnesty Committee they were trying to scupper South Africa’s first democratic elections. The eight men sprayed 10 black people with gunfire after stopping them on the Krugersdorp-Ventersdorp road using a blue traffic department light and clad in reflective jackets. The committee rejected evidence that the victims were legitimate targets who had admitted to being ANC members.
