It was unfortunate. I don't feel good about that. No right thinking person would simply go and deprive another person of his life. But, in a situation of war, there is always a loss of life on both sides. We did not ask to be forced into the situation in which we found ourselves.
Our demand for territory, for an area, was a reasonable demand, and if one's demands are not acceded to, then one has to fight for that in which one believes. Just as I am sorry that these people in the bus, that they were the victims and they had to lose their lives, I am also sorry about the war that was fought on our borders for so many years in which people who were performing their National Service had to lose their lives. 
The progress of political developments in this country has brought about tremendous loss of life on both sides, that is on the ANC, the PAC, the Security Forces, and as I said earlier, the Boerevolk are not strangers to oppression, to humiliation, all that they have ever wanted is to live in peace in their own territory and to govern themselves. That is the evidence of our history.
