MR DE KOCK: Chairperson, he would have been shot in the head, there is no doubt about that.

I was responsible for bringing about, for brokering the conference on enmity between the South African Defence Force, South African Police and APLA in Harare.

"... If I could just follow that up, I hear you. I hear the difficulties of operational command, we heard that from APLA themselves and we heard it now, how difficult that became as the struggle intensified as more and more people were recruited, training became less intensive and more difficult ...

The policemen were kidnapped, and a number of firearms were taken during the raid. The telephone lines were cut, and the applicants wrote the words APLA on the wall and in the charge office so as to confuse the police who would later investigate that ...

... above ground so that you can probe it, every issue of it, it was all done on a need to know on an underground basis, both from the side of the ANC, APLA, South African Police, the Army and everyone that participated in this. So in that situation Sir I say that it's not a normal situation where ...

... he should come to Zeerust or to Potchefstroom and talk to them because he is now creating a monster. He is going to allow PAC guys to infiltrate, APLA guys to infiltrate, because they will not be able to arrest every group that comes in. They would have to let one go, arrest others and they ...
