FERDINAND BARNARD
Honourable Chairperson, I was a member of various units.  I was originally with the Uniform Branch and then I went to the Detective Branch.  I followed many courses at the Detective Branch, then I went to the Tracing Unit, then to the Unit for gang violence, which was established in Johannesburg.  It was a specialist unit.  From there I went to the Narcotics Branch where I remained until I was remanded to custody.
