This is to allow members of the security police in the 1980s who are named in the case to obtain legal representation.

Evidence leader, Advocate Siyabonga  Ngcobo has told Judge Pieter Bezuidenhout that the former Vlakplaas Commander, Dirk Coetzee and Joe Mamasela are among these witnesses.

Coetzee told the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that Mxenge was brutally murdered before his car was set alight near the Oshoek border post to eSwatini in 1981.

Mxenge’s daughter says she and her family will only be able to heal once the truth about her father’s murder comes to light.

She and other relatives were in the public gallery, together with African National Congress leaders, during the brief proceedings.
