Charges were murder, attempted murder, damage to property, terrorism and sabotage under the Internal Security Act and the Arms and Ammunition Act.

The matter was finally settled out of court because the State of Emergency had been lifted. There was no longer any need to pursue the relief sought in the application.

Hélène Passtoors was charged with treason in 1986. She was observed establishing an arms cache and it was found that she had knowledge of other arms caches and that she was a supporter of the ANC. She was found guilty of treason and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.

Cedric Mayson was accused in 1982 of high treason or alternatively of terrorism and furthering the aims of the ANC. The case was heard in the Supreme Court but during an adjournment Mayson absconded and left the country so the case was never concluded.
