Inkatha and regional control: policing liberation politics

Abstract

1. Never abuse, insult, shout at or beat any member of the public. 2. Never take anything in the form of money or property from any member of the public not even somebody's sweet bananas or sugar-cane on the ground that it is a mere sugar-cane without paying for the same. 3. Pay promptly for anything you take and in cash. 4. Never kill any member of the public or any captured prisoners, as guns should only be reserved for armed enemies or opponents. 5. Return anything you borrow from the public. 6. Offer help to members of the public when you find them engaged in productive work, if you have time. 7. Offer medical treatment to members of the public who may be in the territory of your unit. 8. Never develop illegitimate relationship with any woman because there are no women as such waiting for passing soldiers yet many women are wives, or daughters of somebody somewhere. Any illegitimate relationship is bound to harm our good relationship with the public. 9. There should be no consumption of alcohol until the end of the war. Drunken soldiers are bound to misuse the guns which are given to them for the defence of the people.
