31 March 1993
Speaking after the publication of a report on the Azanian People's Liberation Army (APLA) by the Goldstone Commission, President F.W. de Klerk issued a stern warning to General Bantu Holomisa, leader of the Transkei homeland, who was accused of aiding the activities of APLA. According to the report APLA's high command was based in Transkei and the homeland was used as a springboard for attacks. De Klerk immediately dispatched 1 000 troops to blockade Transkei in order to stop the movement of APLA members.
