Dr Death cooked and cared for Mandela
[Pretoria, August 1 ] - Apartheid-era chemical warfare expert Wouter Basson
on Wednesday claimed he had in the early 1990s visited the house of former
president Nelson Mandela several times, had cooked for Mandela and even took
care of him when he undertook flights.
"I was at Mr Mandela's home four or five times with the Libyan Minister of
Foreign Affairs and Yusef Murgham (Basson claimed he was a Libyan
intelligence officer) and later with Graca Machel and (former African
National Congress spy) Sol Pienaar.
"I had dropped Murgham and the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Mandela's
house in 1992. I cannot remember when I was introduced to Mr Mandela, but I
know I at a later stage made food at Mandela's house and also took care of
him when he travelled by plane.
"Pienaar travelled to Libya to fetch money for the ANC. That's what he did.
Later on we took over that function ... Murgham was responsible for funding
from Libya to the ANC. He paid cash to ANC members in Harare every month,"
he said.
He admitted bringing Pienaar under the impression that he was a wealthy
businessman. Pienaar earlier bitterly told the court how Basson had conned
him into introducing him to the top echelon of the ANC.
Basson claimed to have been instrumental in handing a letter from Libyan
leader Muammar Gadhafi to British leader John Major through the intervention
of the chief of the then SA Defence Force, Georg Meiring.
"Since I met the Libyan Minister of Foreign Affairs the first time, it was
always about the Lockerbie case. The letter from Gadhafi to John Major
suggested that Mandela should act as mediator," he said.
Basson on Wednesday admitted that he had in 1994, after he was already put
on pension by the SADF, lied to the National Intelligence Agency about his
Libyan contacts and the chemical and biological warfare programme.
He did this because of strict orders by the Chief of the Defence Force that
he had to withhold sensitive information about the programme from the NIA.
"The operational solution was mine. I could say and do what I wanted to, as
long as I did not reveal any details of the project," he said.
Basson said he could not remember being told by former SADF Surgeon General
Niel Knobel or the Minister of Defence to "play open cards" with the NIA.
He however said he had at a later stage talked to the English and American
secret services about proliferation on behalf of the NIA.
According to Basson, he did not inform Knobel about his contacts with the
Libyans, "because it was not necessary and he did not want to know".
Basson claimed to have acted on behalf of Libyan, East German and Russian
principals when he set up a network of companies overseas and in South
Africa, using their funds.
He had also used these "principals" to supply him with information,
technology and substances needed for the project. Defence Force money was
paid to the principals, but the proceeds ploughed back into the group of
companies. Basson said it did not concern him how the principals paid the
suppliers, as long as he received what he needed for the project.
He said no books were kept for the front companies he created on behalf of
his principals and where he initially reported back regularly and in detail,
he later on had a free hand to do as he wanted and only reported back
occasionally to his principals.
To a question of his principals ever wanted to know how much money they had
pumped into South Africa, Basson said: "I really don't know how much money
they invested in South Africa. They were satisfied as long as they obtained
the services they wanted. It was incidental money for them -- it was peanut
money -- it's not even money for them," he said.
Basson said his principals appeared to have been satisfied with his work for
them and how he spent their money and the manner in which he reported it to
them.
"If I used the money and did not tell them about it, I would probably not be
here today," he said.
Basson is facing 46 charges, ranging from murder to fraud and drug
trafficking. He has denied guilt on all of the charges.
The State alleges that he had used SADF funds to enrich himself and some of
his business partners and that he had supplied, or had been instrumental in
supplying, deadly toxins to kill enemies of the apartheid government.
Iemand sê vir my dat daar êrens in die Bybel geskryf staan - "daar sal geen
geheime wees nie..."
Dit laat my dink aan wanneer jy 'n ou trui ontrafel - jy soek slegs een los
puntjie en die res volg.
Dit is wat met die ANC gebeur. Daar is/was te veel vertrouelinge.

Wouter Basson, tijdens het apartheidsregime in Zuid-Afrika maker
van chemische wapens, vertelde vorige week voor het eerst hoe hij
te werk ging.
Libische driedubbelagenten werkend voor de apartheid,
schijnhuwelijken in Europa, de aankoop in Iran van menselijke
groeihormonen, samenwerking met communistische en islamitische
vijanden - feiten of fictie? De Zuid-Afrikaanse cardioloog Wouter
Basson, bijgenaamd Dokter Dood en tot begin jaren negentig
verantwoordelijk voor de ontwikkeling van chemische en
biologische wapens, bracht het vorige week voor het
Hooggerechtshof van Pretoria allemaal als waarheid. Basson staat
terecht voor moord en bedrog.
De slepende rechtszaak tegen de 51-jarige medicus loopt al sinds
oktober 1999, maar vorige week kwam hij voor het eerst zelf aan
het woord in antwoord op vragen van zijn advocaat. Basson, die er
aardigheid in leek te hebben zijn verhalen te vertellen,
schilderde een wereldwijd web van intriges, spionage en
contraspionage dat het toenmalige apartheidsregime zou hebben
gesponnen. Zo trouwde de arts naar eigen zeggen ,,verscheidene
malen'' met buitenlandse dames, onder wie de zus van zijn
Belgische zakenrelatie Charles van Remoortere. De huwelijken,
gesloten met valse papieren van de Zuid-Afrikaanse regering,
stelden hem in staat met Europese paspoorten vrijelijk de wereld
over te reizen en die producten te kopen die de blanke heersers
dachten nodig te hebben om hun bewind te bestendigen.
Basson was sinds begin jaren tachtig leider van Project Coast,
opgezet door de toenmalige president P.W. Botha Basson was ook
diens lijfarts. Het programma was specifiek bedoeld voor het
ontwikkelen van allerlei alternatieven voor conventionele wapens,
variërend van kernraketten tot bacteriologische en chemische
middelen. Libische, Oost-Duitse en Russische bedrijven werkten,
bewust of onbewust, mee aan de opbouw van Zuid-Afrika's geheime
wapenvoorraad. ,,Ik was de enige die overzicht had over het
geheel'', zei Basson.
Dokter Basson reisde, zo verklaarde hij, veelvuldig naar
Oost-Europa toen dat nog onder communistisch bestuur stond.
Zwitserland was destijds een van de landen die bemiddelde voor
het verkrijgen van nucleaire technologie in Moskou, aldus de
hartchirurg. Hij liet in het midden of Zuid-Afrika daar
vervolgens ook in slaagde, maar bekend is dat het eind jaren
tachtig heel ver was met de ontwikkeling van een eigen A-bom.
Voor de Zwitsers had hij overigens geen goed woord over, een
korte periode in een Zwitserse gevangenis was een van de ergste
ervaringen die hij had ondergaan, zei Basson. Dan was Libië veel
beter; ook daar bracht hij enige tijd achter de tralies door,
,,maar de behandeling in de cel was uitstekend''. Een van zijn
Libische contacten was volgens Basson een driedubbelagent die
behalve zijn eigen land ook de Verenigde Staten en Iran van
dienst was.
Zijn meest spectaculaire onthullingen betroffen Iran. Basson
legde uit dat hij namens de apartheidsregering in 1988 350 gram
menselijk groeihormoon kocht in Teheran. De hoeveelheid hormonen
was zo groot dat deze van niet minder dan 250.000 lichamen
afkomstig moest zijn, zo vermoedde hij. Doel van de Iraanse
operatie was het verkrijgen van peptiden, stoffen die het
menselijk lichaam besturen; manipulatie daarvan zou volgens hem
kunnen leiden tot het beheersen van gedachten en dat was dan waar
het gemeenschappelijke belang van Zuid-Afrika en Iran lag. De
Irani�r Jamshid Hashemi voorzag Basson van apparatuur ter
vervaardiging van synthetische peptiden. Om beide regeringen, die
officieel niets met elkaar te maken hadden, in te dekken werd de
aankoop genoteerd onder de noemer `beveiligingsapparatuur'.
Basson wist in zijn laboratoria inderdaad peptiden te maken en
experimenteerde verder in een speciaal aangeschafte dierentuin
met de vervaardiging van feromonen, dierlijke lokstoffen, waarmee
volgens hem mensenmenigtes kunnen worden beïnvloed. Maar op het
moment dat Basson zover was, rond 1990, was het politieke klimaat
dusdanig veranderd dat het geen zin meer had. De apartheid liep
op haar einde. Hij verruilde de peptiden weer met Iran voor 500
kilogram Mandrax, een soort ecstasy. De dokter zei dat andere
landen allang peptiden en soortgelijke substanties hadden
ontwikkeld. De VS beschuldigde hij ervan tijdens de Golfoorlog
deze stoffen te hebben ingezet tegen Iraakse troepen.
Eerder tijdens het proces beschuldigden getuigen hem ervan
betrokken te zijn geweest bij de executie (meestal door middel
van injecties) van politieke tegenstanders van de apartheid. Maar
Basson heeft steeds elke vorm van criminele schuld ontkend en
houdt vol uitsluitend in opdracht van de regering te hebben
gewerkt. Wouter Basson is nog steeds op vrije voeten. In
afwachting van het oordeel van de rechter kan dat nog geruime
tijd zo blijven.

Ek het 'n vra.
Ek het vanaand Bobotie gemaak en hulle sê, dis regtig Afrikaanse kos.
Nou het ons dit baie geniet, dit was lekker.
Ek het dit gemaak met 'n pakkie en 'n sakkie.
Kan iemand vir my vertel, hoe ek dit heeltemal self kan maak, sonder die
pakkies en sakkies.
Wie het die resep en wat is die ingerediente???
BVD, Gr. Rico., die nog steeds Rico is en dit ook sal bly :-)
