MR VAN WYK
Well White knew the premises and he knew the movements of the people on the premises and he said it would be quite a simple operation.  We just had to go in and take the weapons.  He made certain arrangements beforehand and asked du Plessis to leave his 9mm because du Plessis would have gone away for the weekend, the weekend that we planned to do the operation.  We wanted to equip ourselves to be able to resist any possible police intervention.  And on taking the oath we associated ourselves and reconciled ourselves with the possibility of being captured or shot. We would have preferred to rather become involved in a shooting incident, that is how purposeful we were at the time, how committed we were.
