Nduli drove past this car and braked in front of it and the car collided violently with us from behind, both vehicles moved forward.  At this spot we were still on the freeway and approaching traffic lights.  The car then stopped and Lembede and I jumped out and approached the suspects' vehicle.  Suddenly there was a large number of shots fired at the suspects' car, as it appeared later, the reaction unit.  Lembede and I found ourselves caught in the crossfire with bullets whistling around our ears.  We ran away up the embankment between the off-ramp and the N2 freeway and came down after the shooting had ceased and when we deemed it safe to return.
	When I got back to the scene I was ordered by General Steyn to go to the house where the suspects were thought to have left their weapons and go and fetch it.  I believe I was accompanied by a Black member who knew where the house was situated but I cannot remember who this was.  We drove quickly back to the house.  The Black member went into the house and returned with a sports bag and we then returned to the scene of the shooting as quickly as possible.  At the scene of the shooting I handed the bag to Director Botha in such a way as it was not to be seen by others at the scene.  I noticed when the bag was opened there were AK-47s in the bag. 	Botha then planted these weapons on the occupants of the car.
	In doing what I did I executed my duties as a policeman on the orders of a senior commander.  The way I saw it as my obligation during a time of conflict and political violence.  I did not hesitate to participate in the planting of the firearms on the suspects and to commit the defence of defeating the ends of justice in the belief that I was thereby assisting in avoiding embarrassment for the SAP and the Government.
