J A VORSTER
The acts and omissions which I committed, I did in the execution of my official duties, under the order of a higher officer, whose orders I was obliged to execute.  I did this as part of the opposition to the struggle and my actions were aimed against the supporters of a liberation movement.  What I did, I did in order to protect the interests of the Government and the National Party, as well as to combat the revolutionary onslaught.  As such I believed bona fide that what I did fell within my express or implied authorisations.
