When one looks at the evidence that has been given before the Committee, one would realise that the offences were as a result of the attacks that were mounted on the communities by several forces, be it Inkatha, be it Security Forces, and one can see clearly the link between these types of offences, that the communities didn't have arms to defend themselves, they had to go and get arms somehow and robbing the bank is getting the money to buy the arms was one of the means that they used to acquire those arms.
