JEAN DU PLESSIS
Yes, there was a fight, a scrap when we went in.  It was all dark and confused, I am a little hazy about it.  I and Grobbelaar went into the base, White waited across the road and Van Wyk was driving the car. I went in, I squirted the canister of Mace at them.  Then the one sentry launched himself at me, I saw the sentry behind him was reaching for his R4. I wasn't particularly concerned about the sentry who was running for the door behind me, so I let him pass, hoping that Grobbelaar would be able to stop him.  I was more concerned about the sentry with the R4.  So I tried to squirt the can of Mace into his eyes.  Then we came to blows.  He struck me with the R4, and then we were fighting. I think we were tumbling over the beds and the cupboards and in the course of that struggle, I tried to hit him with my fist. I think it was then that his lip was injured.  Grobbelaar then came in.  We tried to take the R4 away from the sentry, and I can't remember if Grobbelaar hit  him or kicked him on the hand. I think at some stage his hand, he tried to put his hand against the tent pole to loosen the grip on the rifle.
