MS PATEL
It is 243 of the bundle, Honourable Chairperson.
MR RUDOLPH
"His standpoint that he was not guilty of a crime even though other people would be guilty, is by nature of the case, not acceptable.  The evidence shows that the police officer who describes his pistol as a .22 calibre is wrong.  He also denies that he said, when he took the baseball bat, 'give the thing that I can hit them with it'.
I deny that today still. 
	Here the court gives preference to police evidence and in this way the magistrate continues and then he says, in the second last or third last line:
"I do not believe that his denial is a purposeful attempt to excuse himself.  I think that the impression gained by the court as a witness, is that he would not stop to acknowledge that even if it is not in his favour."
	I believe in regard to the matter of total disclosure or full disclosure which Mr Terre'blanche, my colleague, regarding the Ventersdorp matter, I am in agreement with him.
	As regards the political objectives, it is so that today we are in another time-frame but I also told you that my political motives are exactly the same.  However, in the time that we have had to deal with the new government, on numerous occasions we have seen a different approach for which I am personally very grateful.
	That time at Ventersdorp we were pressed for time and we had to take action.  Mr Terre'blanche told you about the role played by the media in our denigration and which denied us the opportunity to state our case properly.  This is a tactic, not only used by the National Party, but other organisations as well and is as old as ...(indistinct) 
	Mr Desmond Thompson is a man who has been writing about politics for a long time and as was true of the National Party mouthpiece, held us up as Nazis or fascists.  Just as the same people held up black nationalists as communists, we were regarded as Nazis and fascists when we differed from them.
	You were in this court yesterday, the Committee was here, I was here, but the media tells us about yesterday's events.  
"Rudolph and Terre'blanche wore khaki clothes."
Now I would like to say, if I wore khaki clothes yesterday, then Mr Desmond Thompson was drunk.  That is the situation which we are faced with and which the press has created because when one wears khaki clothes then I am a Nazi and a fascist.  In those terms, Mr Terre'blanche, a Boer nationalist has also been described.  I have nothing else to say to you.
	I am standing in front of you and I have tried to tell you what is in my heart and what happened that day.  I also tried to convey to you that our struggle, a struggle of the Boers, the Boer people and nationalists will continue until we die or until we have scored a victory.  That political objective which I had at Ventersdorp, I still have today.  I had envisaged no gains, I have no political ambition except for the fact that one day somewhere, there will be a place in the sun for the Boer people and that the liberation flag, the Vierkleur, will once again fly over our country, the Transvaal.  That is why I am here today and if the Lord will acknowledge this, I will be found along the way and I hope under different circumstances.  I thank you.
