MR VAN DER BERG
Mr Chairperson, with all respect the rumours you are now referring to, was completely far-fetched and unrealistic.  The applicant did not even go to the trouble to verify this rumour, to see if it is true or not, to take over a Defence Force.  He said he was under the impression that the AWB took over the Defence Force, but there were no shots fired, there were no war waged, nothing.
	How could the AWB enter into Bophuthatswana, take over the Defence Force and now, it sounds right, yes, the AWB came and took over the Defence Force, that is absurd to believe that.
