I submit that this has been the case that full  revelation has been made of all the facts as well as the reasons why this had occurred.
	The question then with respect is whether it was committed with a political motive and in the progress of conflicts of the past.
	Section 2 then defines the political objectives and I submit that the applicant bona fide believed that what he did, would promote a political struggle.
	The struggle which existed in his mind, the struggle against Black rule.  And that as he had set out, that the action wouldn't have taken place if a White person had walked passed and perhaps even not a person of another colour, it was something that was motivated by a fear of being ruled, of not being able to decide things for himself any more.
	In addition then also a political objective is defined as if it would have been in reaction against a political uprising and what the motive for the deed or the crime had been.
	The applicant pointed out that he had acted in reaction to the changing political climate in the country.  The apparent, as he had indicated during the negotiations, the process of handing over of power from the traditional White to a probably Black government.
	And that this action, or this act had taken place not for any other reason, and the crime had not been committed
for any other reason, than that it was of political orientation. And that in that manner he had tried to make a mark  to delay the process or to derail it totally.
