Special Report Transcript Episode 29, Section 3, Time 15:35

I was not involved in the security operations at all which was left to the various commanders of the security forces in who I had the fullest confidence to handle this situation. From where I was I was not watching, nor could I see with any clarity what was occurring in the vicinity of the march. The security forces were aware from the outset that they were to prevent the marchers from occupying Bisho as even after the magistrate have permitted the march, the ANC alliance had made it quite clear that they did not consider themselves bound by the restrictions. I heard the noise and chanting of the marchers, subsequently I heard sounds which I initially did not identify as being shooting. The Bisho massacre had occurred. I consequently learned about the shooting incident and that lives had been lost.
