On the 13th of July, 1990 a decision was taken that there would be no prosecutions of any of the arrested persons who had dealings with Vula because of the political sensitivity of the circumstances.  This would have regard of Vula operators who had already been arrested as well as those who would be arrested in future and there was also talk that certain involved parties would not be arrested because of their participation in the negotiation process and these persons as far as I can recall were Joe Slovo, Jacob Zuma and Chris Hani.  The thought was that the negotiation process which was aimed at reaching a political solution, was of much greater interest as the prosecution of ANC SACP members.   Although this decision was disappointing, it made sense since, in the light that the SA Government had bound itself to reaching a political settlement at all costs for all the people of South Africa.
	I once again spoke to Ndaba.  We had always had a relationship of trust and I believed that it was important that he be informed with regard to the arrests and his own position in the light thereof.  I informed him of the decision that there would be no prosecutions.  His attitude changed radically after he heard this and he expressively said that he would not cooperate anymore as an informer.  
	The fact that I mentioned to him that a special reward of R50 000 had been required or requested which would enable him to settle down abroad made no difference to his determination.
