THE truth commission on Friday granted self-confessed assassin Eugene de Kock amnesty again for apartheid-era atrocities he committed, this time for killing liberation activists in Botswana and Swaziland. De Kock and other policemen were pardoned for killing five ANC members in Swaziland — one of them the brother of South African defence force chief Siphiwe Nyanda — between 1983 and 1986, as well as seven members of a South African family in Botswana in 1990. The Chad family were supporters of the Pan Africanist Congress, one of the liberation movements that fought to end apartheid. Granted amnesty with De Kock are former Commissioner of Police and head of security police General Johannes Van Der Merwe and Brigadier Willem Schoon for offences related to the conspiracy to kill the members of the ANC unit known as “September Machinery “and the killing of Pantsu Smith, Sipho Dlamini and Busi Majola at Fountains, Mbabane in Swaziland on December 13 in 1986.
