Well, comrades were called in, they were talked to, people were asked to explain what they were doing, what their objectives were, etc.  In this case, had comrade Robert come back, we would have spoken about it, looked at the way he went about it, what were the failures, what did he look at if there were any, what was he trying to do, what was the outcome of it, how could we have improved it?  Any suggestion that  you know we would simply mete out punitive action against operatives who in good faith went out to carry out an operation, is not so.  I don't think this was the style of the ANC, certainly that was not my approach to command.
