Yes.  The reason why he was released was because he wrote to me a registered letter and also to an attorney and the Minister of Justice of the day.  He asked me to come to Robben Island immediately.  He said  he wanted to inform me about his health.  He said that I must request leave without pay at work.  I got that letter a few days before he was released.  The Minister of Justice took action,  because he realised that something must be happening in jail.  They then released him quickly in 1969.
