They were.  But what they did say, and I think the evidence is quite unequivocal, as far as this is concerned, was when they first formed the action committee, it did not have a political objective.  Later it took on a political objective and they all became members, most of them became members of the African National Congress.  We think that is important, and why we say it is important, is because there is no evidence, and we will not attempt to even - we will not attempt to argue or persuade you that what they did was done with the approval of either the tribe or of the action committee.  We need to illustrate, and the Act, we believe is quite clear, that what they did, they did at least as part of a political struggle acting in good faith.  That is a requirement of the Act and we have

attempted to show that.
	So we believe there is evidence before this Committee that they were members of the organisation, that they associated with the objectives and that they associated with the political struggle of that organisation.
