I want to indicate at this point in the interest of full disclosure a telephone conversation which I overheard on Friday between my lawyer and the then owner of the Why Not bar Parade Hotel, Mr Russel Davidson.  Mr Davidson was asked by my lawyer whether to his knowledge his place was frequented by Security Force personnel from C.R. Swart and from the military, what I can recall from the conversation was that he confirmed this, he mentioned C.R. Swart, he also mentioned something like Dunnitor Boys Army Pilot, he also indicated that at some stage he was accused of some crime, I think it was selling drugs and the same police who frequented the place, assisted him in getting rid of the charge.  He also added that at one stage one of the police who frequented the place, he met whilst in uniform   at a race course and this guy even gave him a tip to place a bet on something, which won, I think he said Jamaican Music.  In short, the conversation I heard from the manager of the Parade Hotel confirms that indeed the place was frequented by a large amount of Security Force personnel.
"Several discussions were held during political education with amongst others Lester Dumakude, Lekote Pule, Johannes Mnisi on the possibility of attacking such places frequented by Security Force personnel.  During these discussions it was indicated to us that this would be in line with ANC policy and ANC guidelines on the attacks of Security Force personnel.  That we had reconnoitred such a place, a bar, was conveyed to the Sub-Command.
	Myself and Gordon were instructed by Rashid at that stage then to separate into two different units.  My understanding then was that if the car bomb was to take place, Gordon's unit would carry it out at that stage.  Unfortunately within the next month or so, Gordon Webster was injured and captured and a member of his unit killed, and he was later rescued by us and taken out of the country.  I immediately assumed command of his unit at this stage.  During the period in which I took him out to Botswana, I was then informed that a decision was made that the car bomb should go ahead, but that I should prepare a vehicle."
