Former Apartheid police officer and leader of the Vlakplaas unit, Eugene Decock, says Apartheid generals and politicians knew of the unit's existence and operations. He named several of these individuals whom he says were absolved of facing prosecutions for other crimes. Decock was testifying earlier today at the TRC cases inquiry, telling the commission that some of the politicians even visited Vlakplaas. He says he was the only link between the generals and politicians, including the

Former president P. W. Botha. Decog says politicians knew of the many other crimes and gave instructions to bomb buildings of organizations such as the ANC, Cosatu, and the South African Council of Churches. For example, to my personal knowledge, Minister Louis Lacrance signed off on a bombing of the ANC offices in London. He decorated the people who were involved in this, including me. Minister Alden Flock visited Flock Place on many occasions. On one occasion, he came there to call.

Congratulate me on the bombing of Khotso House, the offices of the South African Council of Churches, and Kusartu House. When I was instructed by Brigadier Schoon to bomb Kusatu House, he told me that the instruction to do this was from very high.
