description: Survived an attempted killing when the car he was about to enter exploded in Matsapha, near Manzini, Swaziland on 4 June 1982. The explosion was caused by bombs placed on the car by members of the Eastern Transvaal Security Branch and killed her mother and father, both ANC oficials. His three older sisters and two bodyguards, one a relative, survived the attack. Two members of the Vlakplaas unit were granted amnesty for the reconnaissance phase of this operation. (AC/2001/279)
