Jimmy Claasen and Niel Barnard were sending Dolinschek instructions from headquarters in Pretoria. Then suddenly something changed. // Bureau of State Security headquarters sends the signal down to us, to me, to say that I must tell Mike Hoare to report in Pretoria urgently. He went to Military Intelligence in Pointon building in Pretoria where there was Brig Badenhorst and Brig Martin Maritz I think. When Mike Hoare came there he say he come there in connection with the Seychelles operation. So Military Intelligence, these two gentlemen, they were quite abrupt. They said, says who? So Claasen was there, Jimmy Claasen and he said it’s the Prime Minister’s instructions. The Prime Minister then was PW Botha. Then they say. Where’s the documents? So they didn’t have the documents, so Claasen left and got a letter from the Prime Minister saying that operation of Seychelles is being transferred from the Bureau of State Security to the Directorate of Military Intelligence.
