MR BEESLAAR: I can only state that I was not inebriated because Col de Kock's instructions were that no liquor should be consumed before or during an operation. My share was remote but due to my minor share, I nonetheless respected the instructions of Mr de Kock and obeyed them as such. The first applicant stood guard outside the bank. At first the operation worked according to how he had planned. But whilst the others were inside the police appeared and foiled the robbery. MR LAX: Yes, I understand that being the motive of the operation, but I want you to turn to page, do you have the documents in front of you, page 3?

MR RAS: No. He would have known that it would be used in order to kill people, but he wasn't informed specifically about the operation. ANSWER:: It was, we did it in the open.

MR BIZOS: Aren’t you really contrasting your attitude in relation to co-operation between what you were prepared to tell the SAP and what you were not prepared to tell these foreigners? that if we undertook the practise run during the day, it would become general knowledge, we wanted to keep it a secret because of the situation.

MS COLERIDGE: And can you inform us, what was your first operation that Mr Slang van Zyl required you to do for him? |
