GERRIT NICHOLAS ERASMUS
Mr Chairman, I was appointed as the commanding officer in Port Elizabeth.  Headquarters did from time to time give us various instructions and then I delegated it to the various branches.  The daily instructions, I was responsible for myself because it was my duty according to my instructions, to gather intelligence, to monitor everything which was possible and in this way to keep the State informed regarding the latest developments and therefore enable them to form policy.  This was shortly what my instructions were.
