JOHANNES ALBERTUS STEYN
Mr Chairperson, I would like to say that a person is sorry that these things happened,  but what I would like to say is I am sorry that the government of the day, of that time, the National Party did not have the vision to solve the problems in the country by political means.
	I am furthermore sorry that because of this, the revolutionary onslaught was increased, continued, during which time a lot of people were injured and killed and property was damaged.  The emphasis of what I would like to say, I am sorry about these two aspects that I have just mentioned, that the South African Police and then especially the Security Branch was caught between these two poles.
	We indeed stood between the government on the one side, and the revolutionary onslaught on the other side.  While we were caught up in this, this problem situation, we committed certain acts that I believe under normal circumstances, would not have realised.
	I think we were placed in a position where we ultimately broke the law.
