MR BOTMA
Now I want to read to you from this record, I want to refer you to this record. If you look down at line, let's start about line 10 starting from your counsel there stating as follows, actually line 8.
"My Lord then as indicated yesterday (...indistinct) relating to the amendment it will be evidenced later that explaining this that at the time that the accused initially pleaded during February of this year there were certain constraints upon them relating to the divulgence of the organisation to which they belong and the activity that they were involved in. For political reasons and it was for this reason that the initial statement was given. And My Lord will realise that it was complete lack of knowledge of any of the offences or applications against them. A complete denial and an alibi and My Lord will note from the amended statements made from the plea that - and then the rest is audible. The reason for this My Lord is that since February till now there has been a drastic change in the whole political set up. Particularly in relation to the Azanian People Liberation Army of which the accused are members. And they have now acknowledged this fact and explained in their plea that what they were doing on the day in question was taking part in an operation for the furtherance of their objective. And they consulted with higher authority and in the circumstance I personally have accepted reason for the difference in the pleas."
	The question I would like to put to you now is that do you agree with this, what was said by your counsel at that point in time?
