MR WESSELS
You needn't make a finding, because it's not necessary.  You don't need to test or make any decision in regard to Gen Webb on these issues, what you need to do is you need to make a decision in regard to Verster on these issues.
	Now if Verster acted within the scope of his employment and with direct or indirect authority in terms of Section 20(2)(b), then he must get amnesty for that.  If Webb did not give him permission, then you must test whether he bona fide believed that he had authority, express or implied, in terms of Section 20(2)(f).  
	Now let's look at the facts, Mr Chairman.  It is submitted that insofar as Verster is concerned there's no dispute that he gave the authority for the elimination believing on reasonable grounds that he was acting in the course and scope of his duties and within the scope of his express authority.  The Committee is referred to the testimony which on this ground, was not attacked, save by Gen Webb.  No-one else suggested to Verster that he did not have authority from Webb, with reference to the logistical support, ie: the money and the firearm was made available.  And furthermore, having regard to Gen Webb's own testimony that had Verster asked him for the authority he would probably have granted it.  There can be no question that the applicant on reasonable grounds, believe that he was acting in the course and scope of his duties and within the scope of his express or implied authority and therefore complies with Section 20(2)(f).
