Yes, Minister or Mr Jan Wagenaar contacted me and said that the Minister wanted to make a statement, because I implicated him.  The Minister spoke to me personally and told me that he takes full political responsibility for what happened at Vlakplaas.  Last night he spoke to me, half past eight, and wished me all the best for today and told me that I should just remember that he bears the full political responsibility for the fact that we, at Vlakplaas, tried to prop up the National Party Government and keep them in power.
