MR ERASMUS
Mr Chairman this was a contributing factor to my activities in the police.  During my later years all I experienced, all aspects of Apartheid policy and there were various views regarding this.  Most people I came into contact with believed in the policy and supported it.  The people from the South African Police in the execution of their duties as policemen and women had no reason whatsoever to criticise the policy of the government they were obliged to serve; they had to take an oath of loyalty amongst others. I also experienced that very many statements were made overseas in support of the policy of the previous government.
