GEN STEYN
Chairperson, I acted in the execution of my services and duties in the South African Police and I believed that such action was expected of me and this fell within the ambit of my expressed or implied authorisation.  I believed in the light of the pressure which was placed upon us in the security branch by the political leaders of the time and continually it was said to us that terrorists had to be wiped out in order to combat the revolution.  Chairperson, my action was aimed at protecting the State and the National Party and maintaining them.  In this whole process, Chairperson, I never received any reward and did not draw any personal advantage from this.
