It was because when I was arrested, when I was arrested in 1992 the way the police treated my case I felt that they were biased against me, because a lot of things happened in connection with this case and police were insisting that me and Solly, we left Witbank for Nelspruit to do whatever we did.  The reason I said so in court, even though I pleaded guilty, I realised that police were nailing me and they were making me a main culprit on this.  I said this in court because I did not want the police to have that impression about me that I left Witbank with Solly, because after the police arrested me they tortured me and I gave evidence that I was with Solly and others when we did this and it took police a long time to arrest the co-accused and that is when I realised that the police were basically against me and the second thing is that in court they had a separation of trial and awe co-accused were given a free bail and I was given a R5 000,00 bail and after that we were separated.  All these things, to me, appeared as if I was the bad one or the police were treating me differently, because police insisted that I left Witbank to commit this crime and that is why I lied in court.
