Cyril AFRIKA (28), a minister of the Dutch Reformed Mission Church, and Robert CLAASEN (29) began jail sentences on 5 January. This followed the dismissal of their appeals in the Cape Town Supreme Court and petitions to the Chief Justice against their convictions and sentence. Both men were arrested in October 1985 following the 'Trojan Horse' incident when youths stoning vehicles in Athlone were ambushed by police concealed in boxes on the back of a truck. In July 1986 they were sentenced to an effective 18 months' imprisonment.
