On the 16th of July 1990, upon my return to Durban, I was informed by Col Botha that he'd not been successful in changing Ndaba's view, getting his head right and that he and other members had eliminated these two people.  he'd also explained to me that he couldn't release Shabalala since he would most definitely reveal the fact that him and Ndaba had been detained together, that he'd been abducted and unlawfully detained and also quite possibly his suspicion that Ndaba had been killed.  He would reveal all of this to the ANC.
	If this should happen, it would have been an embarrassment and political defeat for the National Party, especially at the negotiating table.  Accordingly, based on the previous discussion which I'd had on the 14th of July with Botha, I associated myself with this conduct.  
	I acted in the execution of my duties in the service of the South African Police.  I truly believed that such action was expected of me and that my conduct fell within the scope of my express or tacit authority.  I believed this, especially in view of the pressure which had been placed on us in the Security Branch by the political leaders of the time.  We were continually told that terrorists should be eliminated in order to avert the revolutionary onslaught.  My conduct was aimed at protecting and maintaining the state of the National Party.  I did not receive any advantage or reward for this action and I derive no personal benefit from it.
