NB: Witnesses at TRC hearings were able to give testimony in their home language. Translators and transcribers worked in most of South Africa's 11 official languages plus Polish. As a result, spelling errors (particularly of names) occur. There may also be incorrect transcription or translation in places. There are also many instances where a response was inaudible and  gaps appear in the transcription. Differences in text formatting mean some of the documents contain embedded footers, headers and incorrect page numbers. Transcripts are arranged chronologically.
