MR BOTHA
Mr Chairperson, the forms were in my possession and on the morning of the 17th of October I arose very early. I saw through my bedroom window that there was a vehicle parked outside my flat. I used my binoculars to take a closer look and I saw that there were security police there.   I recognised them. I immediately became concerned, so I took the forms with the oaths with the signatures of Mr Marais and Mr Smuts and I put them in my refrigerator in the vegetable drawer. I hid them there under the vegetables.
	Immediately thereafter I heard knocking on my door and 17 security policemen under a Brigadier came into my flat and informed me that they were detaining me and they searched my flat.   They did not find the oath forms.
