With respect, the only other aspect which I 
would like to deal with, which is also referred to, is paragraph 
23(f), the relation between the action and the political objective, 
specifically the proportionality.  In terms of the evidence of the 
witnesses who maintained that the leaders had to be killed and 
what the consequences of such deeds would be. 
	With respect one must specifically consider the time, point 
in time when the action was taken and what the objective was.  
The objective was to prevent that there would be an ANC/SACP 
takeover, which was an eminent threat at that point.
	And that takeover which was a threat, must be weighed up 
in conjunction with the policy of the party that they were opposed 
to it, the feelings created amongst the followers, these two 
aspects must be balanced.  If there would be an ANC/SACP 
overthrow, it would be over, it would be like a death sentence, 
there was a great feeling of finality regarding that, within that 
context.
	Therefore within that context, to take out a leader would be 
an act of prevention and within the context of war, which they 
believed existed, to take out the leader would prevent that 
alliance from coming into power and prevent the disadvantages 
and the threat which existed for the CP as a party.
