Chairperson, I cannot explain exactly why, all that I know is that I did not convey the message to them before Nyanda was arrested and I want to differentiate between the instructions from van der Merwe is that it was not that you must not arrest anybody, it was that preferably do not arrest anybody, interpreted by me, until the week of the 16th.  There were certain procedures which had to be followed or that he wanted to follow with regard to information with regard to information from other departments.  Us, we were not going to arrest anybody because the whole process was that we had to gather more information and in the meantime I had the problem of, I had Shabalala with me and Ndaba, the informer, which we had to place back was also with us.  Many things happened and in my own mind I cannot recall whether I told them or I did not tell them, but before du Preez arrested Nyanda, I think I did not tell them.
