This included planning, military planning as well as strategic planning and the creation of structures, military training of supporters and the establishment of a sophisticated communication network and Intelligence network.
	Ndaba's function was to write a programme about amongst other things military training, provision of weapons, etc.  Basically the how and where and the wherewithal aspects in preparation for the popular revolt.  This function of Ndaba's was generally known as military combat work.
	Ndaba told me that there were certain leading figures in the RSA such as Siphiwe Nyanda, Ronnie Casrills and Mac Maharaj and he further gave me the addresses of a whole number of safe houses of the ANC in the Durban area.  The information regarding the presence of these people, mentioned people in the country was news for me.  Nobody in the Security Branch knew that.
	Ndaba also gave me the names of other people who were involved in the operation.  Some of these had been trained, military trained abroad and others were well-known activists within the borders of the country, such as Pravien Gordhan and Dipak Patel.  Their involvement in the operation was also news to us.  
	It is necessary to try and explain my own framework, interpretation framework, relating to information which was received in that period.  On one hand the South African Government had made a serious start with negotiation process with, amongst others the ANC SACP Alliance and Mr Nelson Mandela was released and certain agreements had already been achieved regarding certain matters such as the Groote Schuur Minute and serious negotiations with a view to negotiations was the order of the day and a suspension of the struggle was viewed as a future possibility.
	This suspension of the arms struggle by the ANC SACP Alliance was announced by them during August of 1990.
