MR BOTHA
Mr Chairman, as I explained, time was the factor. We didn't have time to conduct investigations, to enquire. The rules of this attack were not written by us. The PAC had attacked Whites on the beach front that morning purely because they were White.
They weren't interested in whether some of the Whites might perhaps have been PAC or ANC supporters, or whether they were members of the National Party. They were attacked simply because they were White, there was no other reason. No distinction was drawn between elderly men, women. They were attacked simply because they were White.
