RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

Dear Sir Sirs
ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files
F urther note th a t in fu ture TRC accounts and any au thorisation m u st be m arked for the attention of Ms Nettie Loretz ph (012) 481-2763 fax (012) 341-9522)

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files
F urther note th a t in fu ture TRC accounts and any au thorisation m u st be m arked for the attention of Ms Nettie Loretz ph (012) 481-2763 fax (012) 341-9522)

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel
r bull -- - - cyWe are attempting to verify these allegations and would appreciate receiving any information you might have in this regard including minutes of the conference press releases video and audio recordings

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

We annex hereto a copy of Advocate Malindis letter dated 31 July 1998 setting out the fee structure agreed to by Ms F Brown together w ith the Office of the Legal Aid Officers letter dated 20 October 1998 confirming that previous accounts have been drawn in accordance w ith the agreed fee structure already referred to Please note that there is still a sum of R3 13500 outstanding on Advocate Malindis last account as the incorrect fee structure was used
The matter is unfortunately still not completed As you know it has been set down for a further 2 weeks beginning 19 July 1999 We sincerely hope that the matter including argument can be finalized by the end of July 1999
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the writer hereof

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference

Dear Sir Sirs
ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files
F urther note th a t in fu ture TRC accounts and any au thorisation m u st be m arked for the attention of Ms Nettie Loretz ph (012) 481-2763 fax (012) 341-9522)

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel
r bull -- - - cyWe are attempting to verify these allegations and would appreciate receiving any information you might have in this regard including minutes of the conference press releases video and audio recordings

ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

The matter is unfortunately still not completed As you know it has been set down for a further 2 weeks beginning 19 July 1999 We sincerely hope that the matter including argument can be finalized by the end of July 1999
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the writer hereof
Yours faithfully

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

Dear Sir Sirs
ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files
F urther note th a t in fu ture TRC accounts and any au thorisation m u st be m arked for the attention of Ms Nettie Loretz ph (012) 481-2763 fax (012) 341-9522)

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel
r bull -- - - cyWe are attempting to verify these allegations and would appreciate receiving any information you might have in this regard including minutes of the conference press releases video and audio recordings

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference

Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel
r bull -- - - cyWe are attempting to verify these allegations and would appreciate receiving any information you might have in this regard including minutes of the conference press releases video and audio recordings

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)

We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
During the evidence at the hearing it has emerged that Kwa-Madala Hostel was sealed within hours of the attack on Boipatong Please could you confirm precisely when the hostel was sealed by whom it was sealed and why there was a delay in doing so
It has also emerged during the hearing that subsequent to the sealing off of the Hostel strict controls were put in place by Iscor to monitor those entering and leaving the hostel
According to Mr Moses Mthembu Iscor has records of those people who entered and left the hostel subsequent to it being sealed off
Please can we have copies of those records for the period 18 June 1992 to 31 October 1992
In respect of the period prior to the massacre Mr Moses Mthembu has stated that Iscor kept records of all hostel residents including those refugees who were not employed by Iscor Please could you let us have a copy of those records for the period 1 January 1992 to 18 June 1992
It is common cause that Prince Vanana Zulu was employed by Iscor as at 17 June 1992 It is also common cause that he was a resident at Kwa-Madala Hostel at the time Please would you let us have copies of all documents relating to the period during which Prince Zulu was on leave during 1992 Such documents should include applications for leave approval thereof and appropriate wage register documents
We tender the reasonable costs of photocopying copies of the abovementioned documentation

Dear Sir Sirs
ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files
F urther note th a t in fu ture TRC accounts and any au thorisation m u st be m arked for the attention of Ms Nettie Loretz ph (012) 481-2763 fax (012) 341-9522)

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

The matter is unfortunately still not completed As you know it has been set down for a further 2 weeks beginning 19 July 1999 We sincerely hope that the matter including argument can be finalized by the end of July 1999
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the writer hereof
Yours faithfully

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel
r bull -- - - cyWe are attempting to verify these allegations and would appreciate receiving any information you might have in this regard including minutes of the conference press releases video and audio recordings

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel
r bull -- - - cyWe are attempting to verify these allegations and would appreciate receiving any information you might have in this regard including minutes of the conference press releases video and audio recordings

ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

Dear Sir Sirs
ACCOUNTS OF CAMBANIS ADVOCATES BERGER AND MALINDI BOIFATONG CASE
The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files
F urther note th a t in fu ture TRC accounts and any au thorisation m u st be m arked for the attention of Ms Nettie Loretz ph (012) 481-2763 fax (012) 341-9522)

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

RE BOIPATONG AMNESTY APPLICATIONS
I act on behalf of certain victims of the Boipatong Massacre Advocate Dl Berger and Advocate PG Malindi act for the remaining victims This letter is being sent to you on my own behalf and on behalf of Advocate Berger and Advocate Malindi
Certain of your members during their evidence in support of amnesty have stated that Mr Andries Matanzima Nosenga was taken from Kwa-Madala Hostel to Ulundi during July 1992 for the purposes of presenting him to the leadership of the IFP during the IFPrsquos national conference
v It has been further stated that Mr Nosenga was indeed paraded before the leadership of the IFP at the conference on the grounds that he had allegedly stated that he had been sent by the ANC to reconnoitre Kwa-Madala Hostel for the purpose of planting bombs at the Hostel
r bull -- - - cyWe are attempting to verify these allegations and would appreciate receiving any information you might have in this regard including minutes of the conference press releases video and audio recordings

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention

Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

The abovementioned subject refers
Please note th a t the aforesaid lawyers are complaining bitterly abou t either non-paym ent or delay in having their TRCrsquos accounts settled by the Legal Aid Board The approach adopted by the three is to account directly to the TRC in Cape Town largely because their accounts are never in accordance w ith the Statutory Tariff The TRC is supposed to grant special authorisation to the Legal Aid Board to deviate from the S tandard Tariff as well as forward their accounts to the Board for settlem ent These never happen and th e lawyers somehow are always apprised by your office th a t the necessary h a s been done
Please note th a t due to the afore sta ted om ission by your office it becom es practically impossible to pay your Lawyers when we do no t have their accounts in our files

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

Dear Sir
BOIPATONG AMNESTY HEARINGS
Your fax to Adv M Coetzee dated 29 April 1999 refers
I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention
30APR1999 1434 TRC 021 245225 NO120
Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist

You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation

I have attem pted to contact you since yesterday 29th April 1999 but to no avail It is unfortunate tha t your account was not paid along with your colleagues (Adv Berger and MsCambanis)
As indicated by our Ms Shireen Fillies last week the m atter is receiving our urgent attention
We have in s tru c te d the Legal Aid Board to pay your account on the basis set out in our letter dated 26th April 1999 (A copy is attached hereto)
We understand that this is being attended to and tha t you shall be paid shortly
We have aJso responded to the letter of Nicolls and Cambanis and Associates dated 26th April 1999 and attach a copy herewith for your attention

Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

Whilst we understand some of your anxiety over the non-paym ent of vour fees we tru s t that they will be paid in due course What we cannot understand is th a t in the light of the fact tha t you and your colleagues have already been paid the sum of R 259 84189 there is a need to threaten the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by withdrawing from the amnesty hearing th a t are nearing completion
We encourage you to remain in the m atter However should you wish to withdraw on the basis tha t you have not been timeously paid you shall have to do so formally at the hearing on 3rc May 1999

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position

We have this morning been notified by Ms Faeza Brown that -
1 You have informed her that you and your colleagues shall all be withdrawing from the matter on Monday 3 May 1999
2 That you regard the non-payment of Adv Malindi as being racist
On the first point we strongly advise you not to talce this course of action and encourage you to remain in the matter
You obviously are aware of the enormous cost involved in setting up the hearings for a three week period and that your withdrawal as attorneys for the victims could result in the possible cancellation of the hearings
The Amnesty Committee views your intention to withdraw at this very late stage (i9 April 1999 by Adv Malindi and 30 April 1999 by yourself on behalf of Adv Berg and Adv Malindi) in a most serious light and the TRC shall reserve its rights in regard to any wasted costs incurred herein
We must also point out to you that Judge Ngcobo has made special arrangements to attend to this matter during the allocated period at great sacrifice to his official duties in the Labour Appeal Court
Secondly we take serious offence at this remark The correspondence in this matter will indicate the great efforts made by the TRC to assist and effect payment to Adv Malindi However if you have proof that non-payment was due to racism on anybodyrsquos part we shall be glad to receive it and refer the matter to The Minister of Justice for proper investigation
We trust that common sense will prevail and that you reconsider your position
