		At Qwidlana, a Bhaca village on a grassy hillside 10km to the south, a large UDM flag flapping from a pole gave the helicopter pilot wind direction for landing.
		Holomisa, trying to stick to a tight schedule, was unable to stay for the meal.

	SAPA - 30 Sep 96 - HOLOMISA SAYS HIS EXPULSION FROM ANC IS CONFIRMED
		The former Deputy Environment minister Bantu Holomisa, whose expulsion from the ANC was upheld on Monday morning by the National Executive Committee, will apply to the Rand Supreme Court for an urgent interdict to suspend the effect of the party's ruling while he seeks relief from the courts.
		Holomisa said that, according to reliable sources, disciplinary committer chairman Kader Asmal had moved a motion that the expulsion be upheld and that this had been unanimously agreed to.
		Holomisa said he had been asked whether any NEC members should recuse themselves, but that he believed this would be futile as the entire body had already been influenced by members of the National Working Committee.

		Holomisa alleges that after the fence between the Kruger National Park (KNP) and Timbavati was taken down in 1994, lions, leopards and buffalo roamed into Timbavati and these "national assets were hunted for gain for a small group".
		Holomisa was adamant that his campaign was in the interests of conservation, and said he had set his sights on another reserve where elephants were hunted.

		East London — UDM leader Bantu Holomisa says he will try to secure the release of the man, who in 1990 with the backing of the apartheid regime, plotted to overthrow him and his military government in the then Transkei.
		In 1993, he was sentenced to 20 years for the aborted coup against Mr Holomisa and was described by the Umtata Supreme Court judge as the ringleader of the coup in the Transkei.
		He said it was also his understanding that Mbotoli had been arrested because he had lost his appeal against his six-year sentence for being in possession of illegal arms and not for the aborted coup attempt for which he received amnesty.

	Bantu
		The Bantu languages are very closely related considering the vast territory they cover, leading historians to believe the Bantu came to dominate sub-equatorial Africa relatively recently and quickly.
		The smallest unit of the Bantu organisational structure formed the household, or Kraal, consisting of a man, woman or women, and their children, as well as other relatives living in the same household.
		The food acquisition of the Bantu was primarily limited to agriculture and hunting, where generally the women were responsible for agriculture and the men drew for the hunt.

	The Rise and Fall of Bantu Holomisa
		Bantu Holomisa was nurtured by the old bantustan Transkei Defence Force, itself a proxy of the apartheid SADF.
		In the course of his TRC submission, Holomisa alleged that a fellow ANC cabinet minister, Stella Sigcau was the recipient of a "R50,000 bribe from Sol Kerzner" during her time as a minister in the old Mantanzima Transkei cabinet.
		Holomisa pleads not guilty to the allegations, and he attempts to lay all the blame upon the financial and other pressures deliberately placed on his administration by the apartheid regime in Pretoria.

		In a pre-2004 election poll, the UDM garnered two percent of the vote from a support that is firmly rooted in the Eastern Cape.

		Major-General Bantu Holomisa, the leader of the ruling Military Council in the ‘independent' Transkei homeland, accused the South Africa government of perpetrating the failed coup attempt to remove him from power.
		Relations between the Transkei and South Africa were strained, since Holomisa openly supported the African National Congress (ANC) and the organisation was unbanned under his rule.
		Holomisa claimed to have known a few days earlier of the coup attempt and that the members of the right-wing Afrikaner Weerstand Beweeging (AWB) were involved in guerrilla training near the Transkeian border.

	SAPA - 01 Aug 96 - HOLOMISA HAS SIGNED HIS OWN DEATH KNELL IN THE ANC: TSHWETE
		Axed deputy minister Bantu Holomisa appeared to sign his own death knell in the ANC on Thursday by suggesting that senior party leaders, including Deputy President Thabo Mbeki and Sports Minister Steve Tshwete, accepted favours from hotel magnate Sol Kerzner in return for protecting Kerzner from prosecution.
		Holomisa's allegations are contained in a formal response to the disciplinary charges served on him on Wednesday, which he made public at a Johannesburg press briefing on Thursday morning.
		Holomisa's response, addressed to ANC secretary-general Cyril Ramaphosa, alleges ANC members other than Sigcau had accepted "certain favours" from Kerzner, who is still is the subject of a criminal investigation by Transkei Attorny-General Christo Nel.

		He says that while Holomisa’s fears are understandable and informed by the party’s previous experience in 2003 — when it lost 10 of its 14 National Assembly seats during the floor-crossing period — his actions now are showing worrying levels of desperation.
		Holomisa told the media this week that the court would be the final arbiter on the matter.

		Holomisa maintained a vendetta against Kerzner, however, charging him with corrupting the homeland government, and for many years sought his extradition from South Africa to stand trial.
		Holomisa became an ANC member in 1994, was named deputy minister after the election and, at a 1995 ANC convention, won more votes than any other contender for the ANC's National Executive Committee.
		Holomisa countered with a series of blockbuster allegations against Mbeki and another minister, culminating in the claim that both Mbeki and former ANC Secretary General Cyril Ramaphosa were "in Sol Kerzner's top pocket." Attempts to impose discipline within the ANC's own structures, he added, were fatally compromised by its leaders' ties to Kerzner.

		Bantu Holomisa's remarks against the leadership of the ANC and COSATU at a media conference in Johannesburg, may unfortunately create the impression that he may not have outlived the disinformation tactics learned from his erstwhile political masters in the former National Party government.
		The coincidence in the timing of these untested allegations levelled by Bantu Holomisa with the National Party's attack on the integrity of Saki Macozoma, MD of Transnet raises concerns.
		In this context, we believe that if Holomisa has evidence of impropriety against public representatives he should feel free to approach the office of the Public Protector to put the matter at his disposal.
