No, that is not true.  Let me tell you if I wanted to knock these persons, then all three of them would have been in the cells that you have just mentioned.
	The Attorney-General and his team came to visit me 17 times, after I was detained.  Their offer was for me to be removed immediately from C-Max and similar circumstances, that I can choose which correctional facility I would like to be in, if I gave my co-operation.  I was promised by Adv Torie Pretorius who came to visit me personally, he said "work with me, give me statements against the others, we will take you out of C-Max within 48 hours" and they even went as far as offering me a lesser sentence which would be arranged with the AG and the Minister of Justice.  That was offered to me.
	Here are my legal representatives with me, it was reported to them.  On the contrary, I had a plague from the AG's office, around me, because they wouldn't take no for an answer. I wrote them a letter at one point, asking them to desist from visiting me because I didn't want to cooperate with them.
	So if that was my plan, it would have been the golden opportunity to tell the Attorney-General "listen, these people are bothering me and I am angry with them, I will give you the statements against them."
