EUGENE MARAIS
As I said, we thought that what we feared and what had been propagated at right-wing meetings of that time namely, that  the day would come when Black on Black violence would - that we are so well acquainted with in this country would move to Black on White violence.  We also saw it as a direct consequence of the National Party Government's decision on the 2nd of February 1990, to unban the so-called liberation movements and to free the present President.
We believed that this would not only lead to the destruction of the Afrikaners, but that it would also cause violence and we would be literally obliterated.  At that stage we thought that what had happened after colonialisation, or after decolonisation in other African countries, Uhuru - that would happen here.  We got into the car and left for Durban.
On the way we decided amongst ourselves that we would have to identify a suitable target.  That sounded like a good plan, that we should attack a minibus taxi.  We arrived in Durban and we saw a taxi and followed it.  We followed it into a residential area, but the circumstances were not conducive to a successful attack, so we abandoned the plan.  
	We turned round.  It was very late and we were about to go back to Richards Bay - we presumed at that stage that we wouldn't find a target because the next day was going to be a public holiday and there wouldn't be anybody left in town.  
We stopped at a petrol station to buy cooldrink, at that point a bus drove past and it seemed to us to be a suitable target.  We followed the bus, and on a quiet road where there were  no other cars, we overtook the bus.  Mr Botha gave the command "Fire" and we shot at the bus. ...  [intervention]
