description: An informer who was shot dead by Vlakplaas operatives near Nelspruit during November 1991, allegedly because it was feared that he would disclose sensitive information about covert operations of the Soweto Security Branch. Mr Bambo, a Mozambican citizen, and several others had been apprehended by the SAP in the early 1980s as they crossed illegally into South Africa, and had been induced to work first for Koevoet and later for the Soweto Security Branch. Three Vlakplaas operatives were granted amnesty (AC/2001/252).
