Okay.  Let me rather take the Committee through in this format.  The way I drew up the operational plan was as follows:  There was a reconnaissance party and the commotion of the reconnaissance party was all the operatives although they were to go there in different timings and we had to consider the security of the operation or the security of the target, but every operative, all the operatives were part of the reconnaissance party.
	I have already indicated that they only became part of the reconnaissance party during final reconnaissance.  Then there was also a security part.  The security party were those people where there was also a command post, a command post, that means that was the commander for the operation had to be stationed, somebody who can be able to have a full view of whatever development is happening during the operation and be able to give commands.  
	That composed of comrade Bheki, he was appointed commander, comrade Vido and the driver.  Then there was also lastly the execution party.  I think that is where you get it finally.  The execution party actually composed the most senior people, myself and comrade Skumiso.
	The reason why we appointed or the reason why I think comrade Skumiso appointed comrade Bheki as the commander is that we were building our forces for leadership and the fact that, I think some 5 months thereafter, he was promoted from the position of being an ordinary force into an area commander.  It's quite indicative of the fact that we are right on track.  
	And simply because we had trust and confidence over the plan, operationally speaking and that each and every force understands the role that is going to be played by each and every operative in the operation.  And therefore, equipped with that knowledge, equipped with that information and coupled with the training that he had received from APLA, it was possible that given a change, he can command.  And the success or the failure of the operation, I think it proves me correct.
	So if I may add, comrade Bheki was to command, as soon as we entered the gate he takes over the command and as soon as we go out of the gate I take over the command, went to the RV, as soon as we reached the RV comrade Skumiso takes over the command.  That was the circumstances.
