EUGENE MARAIS
I'll just have to take you back.  In 1988 or thereabouts, I was attending an army camp.  We, in cleaning-up operations in Kempton Park area, we went to a shebeen and while we were raiding the shebeen we came to a squatter camp.  It was pretty well hidden, you couldn't see it from anywhere, it was only when we were on top of it that we noticed it, so I believe that very few people were aware of the place.
The local residents saw us approaching because we were in uniform and in military vehicles and so they fled.  We did a sweeping operation in the squatter camp and we found a number of items, things such as typewriters and various equipment - a tremendous amount of equipment.  At a particular stage I entered a shack.  I was alone.  There was a plastic sheet under the bed on the ground.  I picked it up and under that there was a bag - a plastic bag, and I found inside it an AK47 with magazines and ammunition.
Because I am quite a rifle enthusiast I wanted to keep this weapon to myself and I didn't want to tell anybody about it, and I took the rifle and I hid it in the grass outside, it was quite near the main road.  That afternoon we returned from the camp.  At that stage we could go home every second evening.  I went to my car and went to pick up the AK47 and I took it home.
