Ex-Mandela cop reveals apartheid police secrets
15 March 2017
Cape Town - Members of the apartheid-era security police swept the scenes after the bombing of Community House in Salt River in 1997 and the killing of the so-called Gugulethu Seven in 1986, the Western Cape High Court heard on Wednesday.
Major-General Andre Lincoln testified that he believed that, because he knew this, members of the security branch, specifically Western Cape policeman Leonard Knipe, targeted him and went out of their way to tarnish his name.
"The bombing of Community House in Salt River and the shooting of the Gugulethu Seven… Members of the murder and robbery unit had a role in sweeping these crime scenes.
"I can speak here with a lot more freedom," Lincoln said, adding that it was because he was involved in a civil, and not criminal, matter.
