SIPHO JOEL SITHOLE
Yes, not only on firearms but also in information gathering, which was very critical.
	Most of the acts that were supposedly to have been launched against our own communities, were not stopped by weapons.  It was stopped by getting proper information about an attack and actually exposing that before it actually happened.  Then it was not only just weapons that were used in acts of self defence, but a lot of things, like information which was very critical.
	If the enemy knows that people knew that they are coming, they will say hold it, and then we prevented a lot of things that would have happened, through just gathering information and training people specifically to be able to gather as much information.
	For instance, in some other areas a car, if a car just come with people with arms, with weapons, they are just shooting people indiscriminately, it happened in a number of areas, we say to the people, we don't want you to tell us about the car, that it was a white car that just went passed.  We want you to be in a position to try and recognise the faces of the people. 	
	If you can the number plates of the car, the proper description of a vehicle, so that if in case our own comrade needs to act against those people, they must act precisely.  They mustn't just shoot any other car that might have been passing  Part of the training was to actually in giving skills to people to be able to precisely identify the cause of violence in the area.  We will not be part of the genocide where we will tell our own comrades go and kill and kill indiscriminately, we wanted specific, zero in to the specifics, who is responsible for this violence.
