JOHANNES GODFREY RAATH
Your Honour my primary task was that I had sworn allegiance to the State.  I did not do it for my own personal gain, but I acted as a policeman against the liberation movement.  I felt that that what I had done, seen against the background of the unrest situation in the area and in the country was something which was associated with my duties as a policeman.
	My political convictions, I acted in terms of my powers as a member of the South African Police to combat the terrorists and people from the liberation movement.  My activities were in the interest of the country to maintain the government of the day.
