We're talking about intelligence which was necessary to determine who was leaving the country with the intention of furthering the military training and also we needed intelligence, sometimes from across our borders, sometime internally, regarding the infiltration of MK cadres and others entering the country to commit acts of aggression on the one hand and also those who entered with a political mission to encourage and strengthen the structures in the country.
