Holomisa told the commission's hearing in Port Elizabeth that this was only way to close the chapter on the violence that erupted in the 1990s after the unbanning of the liberation movements and the role of the Directorate of Covert Collections (DCC) in the violence
Holomisa said he testifying to the commission as a "concerned citizen". He produced several top secret military documents on covert military operations to destablise the Eastern Cape, former Transkei and Ciskei.
He said de Klerk and van der Westhuizen's testimony should be viewed against de Klerk's decision to grant early retirment to senior DCC officers after they had been linked to violence and murder.
De Klerk himself had stated they could be charged with murder, Holomisa said, adding it was unfortunate that the Steyn Commission's report was never made public or tabled in Parliament.
"There had never been any file... It is against the norms and standards... that a senior officer mandated by the president to do an inquiry... does not produce a document..." Holomisa said in reference to the inquiry into covert activities headed by Gen Pierre Steyn.
He alleged that the Inkatha Freedom Party had formed part of, and was at the forefront of counter-revolutionary activies of the then South African Defence Force in the 1980s.
"The continuing mayhem and internecine strife ravaging KwaZulu-Natal is living testimony of the close collaboration between the IFP and the SADF.
"The bloody conflict between the IFP and African National Congress supporters is not a consequence of bitter political rivalry but a manifestation of the Third Force dirty tricks at work," he said.
The documents handed in by Holomisa refer to covert operations such as Project Katzen, authored by van der Westhuizen and aimed at "normalising" the situation in the Eastern Cape and winning the hearts and minds of the black communities through the establishment of the Xhosa resistance movement.
He said the documents showed that the NP government used front companies to infiltrate churches, political parties, and youth and community organisations.
This information had been gleaned from files on operations with names like Kampong, Pippa, Kalmoef, Lambent, Vallex, Actone, Lionlife and Resource Co-operation and Christian Life Centre.
Holomisa said what emerged from the documents was that these and other operations were sanctioned at the highest level of government with emphasis that they should not be traceable back to them.
"Is it not tempting to link the outbreak of violence in the Rand black townships and the train massacres to the activities of the DCC?" he asked.
The files gave detailed insight into the amounts expended through church funds, organisations and how "Christianity was corruptly abused for political gain among coloured and (black) Africans by the then NP government".
Another indication of political gains for the NP was the collapse of the Labour Party after the payment of a "very substantial sum of money" to the then coloured Members of Parliament through Military Intelligence.
He alleged that present National Party MP John Gogotya was on the project Kampong payroll, submitting a receipt for hotel costs of R350 signed by Gogotya and a Col L du Plessis as proof. Holomisa said he had no other files in his possession.
"I am merely waiting to participate when the present government is ready to seriously tackle corruption and not lip service," he said at the end of a session which last nearly three hours.
Gogotya, contacted by Sapa for his reaction to Holomisa's allegation that he was on the former government's payroll, would only say: "I was not."
