JOHANNES GODFREY RAATH
In the first place where I was working from the morning till the night this unrest and violent situations, what I saw there where I was working as a security policeman on grassroots level and suddenly all things just overwhelmed you.  You can't describe to anybody what type of life you led.  To see schools burning every day.  You send this way, you send that way.  There are trained people who are infiltrating over the borders, they are bringing explosives, ammunitions.  There were bomb attacks, and from my point of view there was absolutely chaos during those time.  This person was definitely identified through interrogation as a trained terrorist, a courier who also assisted in smuggling weapons and explosives and ammunition into the country.  He was working for the ANC in Lesotho.  I can go on and on.
	Taking all these things into consideration it just felt for me that I had to serve the government of the day.  As a policeman I had to do this and I had to assist in maintaining and enforcing law and order and to prevent the unrest situation as far as possible, and I felt this is why I said yes.
