I will accordingly read Bundle A, page 72 to page 74.  It is Annexure B
"The actions referred to in Annexure A, I did with a political aim and for political reasons in the presupposition that a State goal was served, always in the execution of instructions, as set out underneath.  I was a member of the Civil Co-operation Bureau, the CCB, and therefore a member of the South African Defence Force.  In the Harms report, page 34, the circumstances under which I joined the CCB are set out in paragraph 6 to 24 of my affidavit and I stick to this.  I specifically want to draw attention on paragraph 10 of my statement where I said that at that stage I had the opinion at that time as a member of the South African Defence Force, that the enemies of the Republic of South Africa were busy with a secret war against the Republic of South Africa.  It was a situation which for survival had my sympathy and also my interests.
		It was clear to me that the conventional ways of warfare at that time in the exterior of South Africa, was not efficient and effective and that steps in a secret way were necessary against the enemy.
		In paragraph 22 in my affidavit I said that during the training course I was told by the Managing Director of the CCB that I would be indemnified and that I would not be prosecuted and the argument was that the Defence Force and the State approved of these projects and that I would not be prosecuted seeing as how the country was also in a war situation internally.  I also summarised the situation like this. 
		I confirm hence that while I gave evidence in front of the Harms Commission, I also gave evidence to this effect and that I was not contradicted during cross-examination.  See Harms Report, page 44, footnote 9.  In this regard I would like to point out that other than the CCB, I did follow the higher authority of the State President and the Chief of the Defence Force and the Minister of Defence, and I also confirm that no personal gain was involved in my steps and that my actions always happened with a political motive.  I saw my task as a soldier and a member of the South African Force, to protect the government of the day and also to maintain the existing State system.  My steps were a reaction to the total onslaught against the government of the day and the enemies of the Republic of South Africa.
		I will also respectfully propose that the findings of the Harms Commission would confirm that with my steps I acted with a political goal.  I had no other political goal other than the protection of the government."
