You see, that doesn't accord with Botha's evidence at all or Steyn's evidence for that matter or even Wasserman's evidence for that matter.  The general picture that we have been given so far is that no arrests were imminent, that in fact Botha didn't even think it necessary to tell you about General van der Merwe's instructions because he had no expectation whatsoever that any arrests might be imminent.  That's why he didn't even think it important to even tell you that bit yet?  I might add in fairness that in addition to that he also didn't have time to tell you either but he wasn't that worried about it because in his testimony he said it was something that wasn't in his mind even at that stage?
