SIPHO BULELANI XYMA
Ja, the Fort Beaufort attack, as far as I'm concerned, was in line with the APLA strategy.  Fist of all let me give this task force thing.
	Task force as it was, it was APLA auxiliary force.  Its briefing mandate was to defend the party internally and at times it was given extra duties like defending the party and we also using it in intelligence gathering.  Because as you are aware there is no organisation or any institution that can function and survive without intelligence and security.  
	So it was very difficult at the time to use externally trained cadres to come and protect the party.  Then it developed to be APLA recruitment pool and later directly involved in combat.  
	Another thing that I want to stress here is that the strategy of APLA was basically a liberation war.  What we referred to as the PAC and APLA as people's war.  And that people's war was based on the premise that ours is the struggle of the people as a whole, of the oppressed.
	I can say people's war is the involvement of the people in every front to wage the struggle, to destroy the settler regime.  So I want to also answer that question of using the ...[indistinct].  I think when we deal with the question of crime, whether to take these comrades as criminals or whatever, you must first of all take into account the structural causes including the socio-economic causes that can force one to become involved in those acts before.
	But when we recruit them we recruit them consciously because we were quite aware that they were used to, they were used in combat or let me put it, ja, in combat, whatever and they were brave and courageous.  I firmly believe they were the part and parcel of the oppressed community of this country.  So they had a right to fight for the liberation of the people of South Africa.
