Yes, that is correct.  It was a normal, standard practice in the security police from the times of Rhodesia, South West Africa, that there was a certain bounty money paid or head money paid, that if a certain killing was made then the askaris would receive money.  In this case they receive R7 000,00 and that was done with the approval of the Commissioner of the Police and the Head of the Security Police.
