Didn’t you, the ANC, think it was irresponsible to arm people over whom you had no control? // We did the best we could. I think it’s easy with 2020 eyesight looking back, Archbishop. We did the best we could; we responded to a plea from the community, we responded to a volatile and dangerous situation in which people were being slain. And we believed our people, our own members from MK, giving instruction, giving training, providing that handbook, would be able that way to direct people in the best possible way. We did the best we could and we gave very very firm instructions. And our people who were involved with the communities attempted as best they could to control the situation when there was a breakdown in discipline or when certain people did their own thing.
