Yes, he lied whilst he was under oath.  It happened that before our trial began he came together with Captain van Staaden to the jail where I was.  They brought some money, they wanted to buy me out so that I should be a State witness against my co-accused.  I rejected their offer, and then when he received in Court, Captain van Staaden agreed that he was in prison with me but he disputed that he came with money to buy me out so that I should be a State witness.  But the books showed that Captain van Staaden came in prison together with a certain person.
