MR DEHAL
Thank you.

	"Furthermore if we had been walking around that area which because of the peculiarities of apartheid, most people had darker skin, we would have stood out like a sore thumb and hence the reason to use him to effect a decoy.  The reason behind this was that when people left the scene, no one would have any weapons on them and the getaway vehicle would be left in the Pietermaritzburg town, wiped down for fingerprints and people would make their way by public transport to the designated meeting spot which I think was my father's workshop in Durban.  
	During the operation we entered the hospital as planned, after visiting hours and made our way up to the second floor where Gordon was.  My father entered ahead of me to see whether the situation was as we had planned it to be.  After approximately 30 seconds, he came back and told me that we would have to abort the situation because there were a number of civilians around.  On attempting to confirm that this is indeed the case, I was confronted with a policeman who was armed with his weapon pointing at me.  (I would just remove "out" sir)  I was armed with an AKMS assault rifle placed under a coat."
