MR LAX
Ms Thabete, his evidence is very clear on this matter.  Unit Commanders and people on the ground, had a general discretion to carry out operations as they happened.  Can you imagine this, say an IFP impi attacks a section of the township, do you think they are going to have a meeting and strategise about what to do in order to defend themselves?  As Commanders they are going to react, they are going to operate, that is how Commanders work.  That is how Units work, people have a general authority, based on that general authority, they take decisions and take action.
	What he said is that he gave a general instruction that (indistinct) should be eliminated.  This Unit in the course of it, they weren't even a Unit, they just happened to be walking somewhere on that day, but they came across somebody whom they felt was an informer, and they decided to deal with him.
	What he is saying in essence is that Radebe as a 2IC, had the authority to make that decision.  He is not saying that directly.  Maybe I am taking it a bit far, maybe that is what you should be exploring.
