GIDEON JOHANNES NIEUWOUDT
Mr Chairman, in 1983 the Security Branch 
component consisted of the Commanding Officer.  After General 
Erasmus left Port Elizabeth in 1983 and he went to Johannesburg a 
Colonel Snyman took over as Commanding Officer and there was a 
Unit that deal with black affairs of which Colonel Du Plessis was the 
Commander.
	There were also the Indian, coloured and technical and trade 
union components.  After 1983 after I had become an officer, I was 
in charge of all information or intelligence and the coordination of 
that intelligence, viz a vie all the organisations.  The four deceased 
Mgoduka, Faku, Mapipa and Charles Jack were under my command.
