"Sometime towards the end of April 1986, Antonio du Preez and I were training in the use of AK47s.  Comrade McBride had so trained us.  He advised us that we will shortly be embarking on an operation in which we may be asked to use these weapons.
		Shortly before the 4th of May, on a date I'm not too sure of, comrade Robert informed me he would shortly be calling upon me to make myself available for an operation.  
		As mentioned, we operated strictly on the need-to-know discipline and all I advised him of was that I would be available within the next few days and did not ask any questions about the operation.
		If I recall correctly, at about 4.30pm on the 4th of May 1986, comrade McBride called me to his father's workshop, where other comrades were present and we received a briefing on the Edendale operation. A map was used to advise us each of our respective task, duties, in this operation.
		We then left in two separate vehicles to the Edendale Hospital.  I travelled with comrade McBride and others.  We travelled in a blue van. 
		When we got to Pietermaritzburg we had to wait until visiting hours were over.  And since we had enough time a reconnaissance was carried out on this operation.  
		Comrade Robert drove onto a dirt road to a fence outside the hospital and again explained to me my role.  We also went to a takeaway where we had coffee and tea.
		When we later got to Edendale Hospital to carry out the operation, my task was to cut a hole in the fence and to remain at the vehicle with the bonnet open, to create the impression that it was broken down.  So as not to draw any undue suspicion to it.
		Comrade Robert McBride and Derek McBride had entered the hospital premises and after a short while I heard gunshots.  Shortly thereafter a person was brought, wheeled on a stretcher to the vehicle I was at.  I later learnt that this person is Gordon Webster.  He was introduced to me shortly after the operation as Steven Mkhize.
		Comrade Webster was then placed into the vehicle and we drove to meet Greta Apelgren.  We did not meet her.  I was to have handed over the firearms to a Welile Khumalo, alias Themba, for him to safely bury them.
		Comrade McBride then decided to drive to Wentworth, which we did.  At Wentworth, comrade Webster was placed into the Factorama(?) premises.  I assisted in looking after the ailing Webster.  I removed my socks and placed it on Webster's legs, massaged his feet and generally kept him comfortable.  Later comrade Robert took me to my home by car."
