NICHOLAS JACOBUS JANSE VAN RENSBURG
I cannot say whether he would have taken exception or not.  My feeling was that he might have because we are loyal to one another, we trust one another - that on that basis he would have taken exception.  Please also remember there were other things - I'll give an example, if we "abduct people", then you could have had witnesses seeing us driving off with them and suddenly these people disappear and then when we are also missing, then the media, family, attorneys would approach Mr Erasmus and now he knows nothing - he has no facts.  This is what I have thought of at that point in time.  If it was correct or not but this was my reasoning why I also had to obtain his permission in this specific instance.
