JAN B DE WET
At that stage I did not know where the people were gathered.  I went to Brigadier Leon van der Merwe who was the Head of the Ystergarde, I went to his house and when I arrived there, I found him, Johan Smit, Jaco Nel who is also an applicant, Tiaan Potgieter, who was also a co-accused, I found them there and the next instructions were then given to me by Leon van der Merwe and Johan Smit and the instructions were that it was war and we needed a safe place for the women and children and I told them that the place where I was at that stage, was quite safe and there were also other alternative safety places and he said, send people out with me to go and have a look at the places and in the morning, there we left.
