I have no doubt, Mr Chairman, that our justice system and the circumstances in 
which we found ourselves which was a combat situation for all practical purposes was of such a nature that 
one could not deal with it effectively.  In my opinion if it was not for political gain, the riot actions if I 
could put it that way, would be to declare a cross-justice system which would have been detrimental to our 
country.  But if you look at the situation which we had dealt with, to a limited extent you could refer to it as 
a "civilian war" and the circumstances surrounding that were not enough to combat it effectively and that is 
one of the reasons why at the end of 1989, Mr de Klerk decided to head in a new direction because there 
was no other way to deal with the situation.
