THE Truth and Reconciliation Commission rejected an unspecified amnesty application by the high command of the Azanian People’s Liberation Army, the former armed wing of the Pan Africanist Congress. Granting the application would have amounted to a general amnesty, which was not provided for in legislation governing the work of the TRC, the commission said in a statement. In its application, the high command said it accepted collective responsibility for any acts committed as a result of Apla leaders’ direct or indirect instructions. Last year, the TRC refused a similar application by the African National Congress leadership for acts and offences committed by cadres of its former armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe.
