SALMON JOHANNES GERHARDUS DU PREEZ
My motivation to carry out the orders of Col Botha by abducting Khubeka and afterwards dropping off her body, was an action in support of the liberation attempt against the revolutionary onslaught and especially to spare the government and the SAP political embarrassment during a period of time when there was much criticism, both internally and internationally, against the government.
	The ANC used all events which indicated at offences of the Security Forces and made propaganda out of it in order to place the government in the worst possible light.  My actions were aimed at the protection and maintenance of the former government and constitutional dispensation.  
	The acts and omissions which I committed, I committed in the execution of my official duties under the order of a higher officer, whose orders I was obliged to execute.  I did this as part of the opposition to the struggle and my actions were aimed against supporters of the liberation movement.
