PIK BOTHA
Yes it must be clear, the emphasis that I put on Judge Goldstone's report, that memorandum was despatched by me on 7 September to the United Nations when the events was not only fresh in one's memory but when we had to rely mostly on media reports, reports of observers here etc.  I have a copy here.   I do not agree with the honourable member when he says that it was one-sided.  I made it also clear that the attitude of the Ciskei government was to be condemned in severe terms.   Chairperson, having gone through the 4 August event and playing a humble role to prevent bloodshed, then to have been faced with this second event, was personally to me a very painful experience.  I must be honest, I thought it was unnecessary.
 We had agreed in CODESSA on the TBVC states, procedures were agreed upon.  I, at that moment thought it was unnecessary.  We had a meeting.  We had a meeting the day before the 7th in President de Klerk's office and there we decided that if Brigadier Gqozo, if the next day the court says that he must allow the march, which we expected, and he didn't, that we would then have taken drastic steps against him.
 And it was when you are in that frame of mind, 4 August was there, the point was made.  Professor Suttner here tells you, the ANC regarded that was a victory for them.  No bloodshed.  Now comes 7 September barely a month later.  I thought it was unnecessary.
 At the same time I must admit that the ANC like any other party, had the right of peaceful gathering.  It is of course a tragedy, or ironical, that that right was not really practised all over the country.  There were vast parts where you couldn't hold a meeting at all if you belonged to a certain party, but be that as it may, I, the answer is yes, when the Goldstone report came out with a proper analysis of the facts, having seen the videos, I accepted immediately Judge Goldstone's analysis and then realised that my submission to the United Nations was partly framed in a state of emotion and, but what I did was I immediately sent the Goldstone report to the United Nations and I also invited, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, a United Nations representative to come and acquaint himself with the situation but the answer is yes.
