Former Vlakplaas commander Eugene de Kock’s cross-examination will continue on July 6th, when the inquest into the murders of the Cradock Four resumes in the Gqeberha High Court for its fourth sitting.
The 77-year-old De Kock is expected back on the stand, where the legal teams of General Krappies Engelbrecht and Joffel van der Westhuizen will continue to question him.

Engelbrecht and Van der Westhuizen have been implicated in the 1985 killings of anti-apartheid activists Fort Calata, Matthew Goniwe, Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlauli. De Kock testified on Friday that high ranking officials of the apartheid state would routinely instruct lower ranking officials to murder activists who stirred unrest in the community.
” There was an army intelligence which had 12 directorates and there was also a national intelligence which operated overseas as well as internal. We weren’t to shoot each other’s sources.”
