Honourable Chairperson, with respect, the 
National Party was in power and by means of its various organs, 
which were involved in the conflict at that stage, the Police, the 
Defence Force and various other institutions, the Commando's, 
and other such organisations which were involved in the struggle 
against the ANC, used these instruments and it came to light in 
various instances that the Police community came forward and 
said that they acted upon orders, or that the climate indicated 
that they acted upon orders, and the answer therefore is that the 
National Party definitely maintained a policy of violence.  That it 
definitely existed.
	With respect, in various instances it appeared in the media 
that certain individuals were seen as targets, where members of 
the ANC were killed under various circumstances and this must 
have had a definite influence on this perception of war, because 
of the policy of violence.
	With respect, one cannot ignore the acts of violence which 
were committed by the ANC.  A milieu of violence existed and it 
promoted itself or continued to exist until at least after the 
election. This piece of history which occurred so swiftly, which 
perhaps in world history happened much quicker than what it 
would have happened in other countries, nonetheless remains a 
fact that it occurred.
