H J P BOTHA
The reason why Shabalala was not lawfully detained was for the simple reason that ...of Ndaba earlier that day and what followed thereafter at the meeting where he gave the signal that he indicated that he felt his life was in danger and we then had to "arrest" Shabalala as well, All that led to the fact that I could not lawfully detain Shabalala because if I did that he would have access to a visiting magistrate, access to a doctor, the information that Ndaba led to his arrest, he could then convey to somebody and that would have threatened the security of the whole operation and therefore we decided to detain him until we found a solution to this problem.
