Special Report Transcript Episode 86, Section 5, Time 51:26

Your name is all over the Ferdi Barnard charge sheet, why didn’t you come forward to clear your name? // To be quite honest, I’ve noted all the allegations. I have approached the TRC with regards to an application, with regards to certain activities which took place within the CCB boundaries so to speak and apart from that I don’t think it would be fair to ask me to comment on any statement being made in the media at this moment in time. // Not so much in the media, it’s just very puzzling that the name he has encompassed, that as far as we can tell no one has come forward to ask you to testify, to arrest you, it must be puzzling you. // It is actually and it is to a certain extent affecting my personal life as well apart from my business as such. But most probably if I could say in all honesty I think most probably they believe in my innocence as well, because at this moment in time there’s absolutely nothing that I feel ashamed of in terms of media allegations and that’s my point of view at this moment in time. And obviously I would very much like to just get on with my life. I mean I think at that moment in time it was a situation which maybe the word ‘justifying’ is the wrong word, but we were in a warzone, there’s absolutely no doubt about that and I think bygones should be bygones.
