Sikisi said Lekota must humble himself and become a unifier whom the ANC could be proud of. The PEC also expressed its shock at the 'unprovoked attack' by Lekota on the party. 'As the result we have opted to take an unusual step to respond to this irresponsible and outright subjective attack on our movement by comrade Terror Lekota'. Sikisi said the ANC wanted the general populace and the 'many comrades' for whom Lekota purported to speak to look at some facts before judging the party. He said the first instances of the ANC being taken to court after becoming the ruling party in South Africa occurred in the Free State. The decision by national party structures to redeploy Lekota to national parliament was challenged in court. Sikisi said that in the recent past in the Free State when the ANC had been taken to court, it was done by people who were known to be close to Lekota. 'The majority of these court applications took place when comrade Terror Lekota was still the chairperson of the ANC'
Mr Raggatt said the killing was 'a thoroughly cold-blooded business' calculated down to the finest detail.
Mr Tobin, a 35-year-old mechanic from Mottingham, south-east London, died in a split-second when he was shot near Warwick Services on August 12 last year.
Mr Raggatt said: 'The incident was a thoroughly ruthless one executed with great skill and precision, great timing... and was the product of a great deal of planning.
'It was a thoroughly carefully aimed shot delivered by someone in a vehicle.
'It was a moving vehicle travelling at something like 85 to 90mph, approaching carefully from behind.'
The jury of six men and six women at Birmingham Crown Court that was told that Mr Tobin, who was travelling in convoy with two other motorcycles returning from a Hell's Angels music festival, was targeted not because of who he was but because of what he was.
The car from which the fatal shot was fired was found burnt out on the same day, rendering it forensically useless, Mr Raggatt added.
Addressing the motive for the crime, Mr Raggatt told the jury: 'This wasn't a case of a man being killed for any personal motive or any personal reason.
'This was a man who was targeted not because of who he was, but because of what he was. In one sense, Gerry Tobin was a random victim.'
Describing the killing as a conspiracy which was put into effect with determined efficiency, Mr Raggatt continued: 'There was contingencies and alternatives that had been planned for.
'It was in that sense almost a military-style operation and had at its heart the plain intention to kill.'
