MR MOSTERT
Chairperson, I would like to refer you to page 13 of the documents and that refers to a confession taken by a Magistrate Botha.  One is a newspaper report which contains certain information which directly relates to information contained in the confession.  Mr Lottering, you must please explain to the Committee very carefully what happened here.  On 4th January, before Magistrate Botha in Johannesburg, you made a confession relating to the offences committed in which you stated that you admitted everything, everything which you had done and you said in respect of the murder and the other offences which you committed, said that it was done with political objective and you motivated that statement.  But then you also said, relating to the robbery of the liquor store, you said it was the only illegal act, page 59 on top of the page:  "It was the only illegal act which I committed for personal gain.  I later obtained work as a body guard in Johannesburg and I was still employed there."  Further on you said "under no circumstances was I prepared to talk about my previous acts because I saw what had happened to some of my trusted friends, I decided to say everything that I knew to expedite the matter.  I only have remorse regarding to the robbery which I committed because that I committed for personal gain but I don't doubt that my political acts were done for the furtherance of my volk.  I would appreciate it if my political acts were separated from the others so that my innocent friends not suffer as a result of my act and be treated on the same footing as me."  Now here you've stated, unequivocally, that the robbery you committed as a purely criminal act for personal benefit?
