were to prevent people from robbing banks or such.  We did nothave normal policing functions.  We were Security Police, we wenton course, on security courses.   We were trained to fight againstthe ANC with everything we had in our power.  We  were trainedon hand grenades, we were trained to jump from buildings withclimbing equipment, we had intensive training.  Not only practicaltraining, but also academic training which showed us what thepurposes of  the ANC were and we were told that this was the so-called"rooi gevaar", the communist threat.  I believed inwhat I did, I believed that I was doing it for my country andmy people.
