member of the ANC and MK, killed by the South African Security Police
In 2000, amnesty was granted to Mathys Botha, Johannes Steyn and Laurence Wasserman for killing of Blessing Mabaso, Brian Memela, Luvuyo Mgobozi and Mbongeni Zondi on 7 September 1986 on the N2 highway in Durban.
The applicants were members of the South African Security Police and the deceased were allegedly trained members of Umhkonto We Sizwe (MK). The applicants said the police had received information that Memela and his group were responsible for an attack on Winnington Sabelo's (an Inkatha Freedom Party member) home.
The Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC) found that the killings were associated with a political objective. The families of the deceased were referred to the Reparation and Rehabilitation Committee for consideration.
