During planning at Alldays, myself and Capt Mike Bourne told ourselves that the rehearsal would take place on the morning of the 10th, because if we went to the scene with all the necessary personnel, that the presence of personnel and the sound of the vehicles, all of which were unusual in that area, would evoke suspicion and once again, this would decrease the risk for Sehlwana and Van den Berg. It could also hamper our attempts to arrest these people.  That is why we decided we would perform the rehearsals the next day, early on the morning of the 10th.
	Now at Alldays I met the members there.  I am talking about the security force members not the observation point members.  I found Capt Mike Bourne and one or two Defence Force members there.  We went into a room, where Capt Mike Bourne showed me where the best place would be to actually stage the road block.  
	It was also put to me that the initial point which he chose for the road block, had been amended.  As a result of information from Col Strydom, which indicated that the place originally chosen, held a measure of risk, in that there were residential homes close-by.
	I must just inform the Committee that I am not familiar with the area and I allowed myself to be led by Col Strydom and Capt Mike Bourne, who was in charge of reconnaissance.  
	After we agreed on the actual point - I forgot to mention to the Chairperson, Capt Bourne was also told that he had to go from Alldays to the crossing point, and to determine exactly how long it would take him to drive there.  So that we would know exactly what time to leave on the morning of the 10th, because it was important for us to know that because it was dark, we wanted to know exactly how many kilometres we had to cover with our lights on and how many we needed to drive with our lights switched off.
	So we decided on a time, that is now the time of departure for the morning. We would have left from a different place, not the police station.  It would have been somewhere along the road. I can't remember the exact place now.
	A Defence Force Casspir was to transport us and we were also to be conveyed in this bus.  That is the way it actually happened.
