Col Eugene de Kock testifies in Court

Former Police Colonel Eugene de Kock began with his testimony in Pretoria Supreme Court by revealing his part in the apartheid regime's 'dirty tricks' campaign. Pleading in mitigation over a two-week period, his testimony implicated leading National Party (NP) figures and senior officers in the security forces. He insisted that he was part of a systematic campaign, which encompassed the police, armed forces and covert security units.References:Kalley, J.A.; Schoeman, E. & Andor, L.E. (eds)(1999).
