MR ERASMUS
I will not waste your time unnecessarily.  My client will give testimony that will in the main be the same as the clients of Adv Booyens.
	My client claims that he was not part of the investigative team;  that in fact he was a mere observer who stood in the door of the interrogation room and that he saw that the deceased, Mr Biko, 
bumped or threw a certain chair at Capt Siebert.
	He also saw that Mr Biko aimed a punch at Capt Siebert and that in an effort to bring Mr Biko under control and to inhibit any further threatening attack or assault, that he took Mr Biko into a secure hold.
	That in fact a shuffle did occur during which all of the applicants present took part and that beyond that the testimony would be the same as that sketched to you by Adv Booyens.
	My client, through the course of the afternoon of the 6th of September 1977, guarded the deceased and noted that he appeared disorientated, or possibly confused. 
	He was replaced by the night guard, a further set of police officers and during the afternoon of the 7th of September 1977, resumed guarding Mr Biko.
	He was not involved in any of the transport arrangements or other arrangements with regard to Mr Biko's transfer to Pretoria and his involvement ended on the 7th of September 1977.
