WILLEM JOHANNES VAN DER MERWE
Mr Chairperson, I joined the Force in 1953 on the 10th of August.  I was stationed in Vereeniging for 20 years.  I was involved in the Detective Branch and at a later stage in 1961 in the Security Branch in Vereeniging. In 1979 about June-July I went to South West Africa which is now Namibia where I was stationed in Rundu. I stayed there for five and a half years and in the start of '79 I went to Pietersburg, transferred to Pietersburg as a major.
	I stayed in Pietersburg in the Security Branch and at the end of '86 I retired on pension from the Force.
