As has been mentioned earlier in this report. the fact that this operation continued up to 1997 is a significant factor. I am, however, not the right person to make any evaluation of the implications for the South African Government of the fact that an intelligence structure in this country continued to use an apartheid-era operator in Mozambique in the post-94 period.

The investigation also indicates that there was a parallel intelligence operation during 1987 - 1988 involving ANC personnel based in Maputo as “informers". This is a matter that has not been further investigated. If necessary, the two persons who have been mentioned could probably easily be identified.

The investigation into a possible link into the assassination of the Swedish Prime Minister has been extremely difficult and time-consuming. To make any further progress, further investigation of the DCC needs to be undertaken should be approached. Furthermore it is suggested that the Truth & Reconciliation Commission should claim access to all files within the Defence Force related to this issue. There are a number of circumstances that have been established during this part of the investigation which render Bacon a suspect. They are:

1. He failed the polygraph examination on questions related to the murder. 2. He has not been able to give an adequate explanation for possession of the tape

from Swedish radio. There are even strong indications that he lied about it. 3. He failed to give correct details about his visits to Sweden. The times given by him

for his visits proved to be incorrect. The circumstances for his visits to Sweden

have also been proved to be very odd. 4. He has proved to be very familiar with Stockholm, which indicates that he went

there frequently 5. He has travelled to Sweden under false identity. 6. He was in possession of the same type of weapon that was used for the

assassination, which at least establishes that he is familiar with this specific type of

weapon, although it has been proved that his weapon was not used for the murder. 7. One of his handlers has stated that Bacon was in possession of a Swedish passport. 8. He has stated that he visited Sweden when it was cold and there was snow without

being able to specify the occasion. 9. His attempts to cover up his relationship with Anthony White are suspicious given

the fact that other sources have implicated White in the murder.

The aim in this part of the investigation has been to establish if H.W. Bacon was involved in, or has any knowledge of the assassination. It is suggested that the results of this investigation should be forwarded to the Attorney General's office for further investigation

PROPOSALS FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION

1. Issue a subpoena in terms of Section 29 ("the Act”) on At Nel to he questioned

about the whole "Bacon operation".
