Chairperson, I cannot testify as to how correct their statements are, but with regard to where it touches upon me, where I gave authorisation for the operations and what the purpose and function of the structures were, they were correct, but because we worked on an indirect basis and for example Mr van Zyl had his own operatives on ground level, I did not have access to information at that stage, but in essence it is correct, this concurs with the purpose of the Civil Corporation Bureau.
	I would also just like to add that, Chairperson, that the CCB was an Executive structure of the South African Defence Force.  The South African Army back then was responsible for battles on land.  Special Forces were co-opted by the Chief of the Army to assist South African Defence Force and the CCB was the structure who moved on the terrain where the enemy chose to move and this was under civilian circumstances.  Our purpose was to destruct the enemy and if it was necessary, to kill the enemy.  We saw it as a military operation, as part of the structures of the then structures and we tried to execute it to the best of our abilities.
