GEN VAN DER MERWE
Chairperson if we had any otherchoice in the circumstances reigning at the time we would havefollowed those options, but at the time we saw no other way toprotect our Black members who were exposed to violence to suchan extent that many had to leave their homes, their homes wereburnt down.  You saw from the statistics how many of our peoplewere killed.  We had no option but to do what we did.  Many ofour members had wives and small children who were exposed to alot of danger.  They were innocent victims of this kind of violence. So we saw no other way in which to do it and it's unfortunatethat we had to do it in this way.
