MATHYS CORNELIUS BOTHA
W/O Wasserman and Gen Steyn, we were not certain of the facts and the course of the events of this incident.  The problem was mentioned to my attorney, Mr Wagener whose advice was that we should say nothing about the facts. Rather than making a statement which could be incorrect, the idea was that we should all go and do some research in order to determine what the correct facts were.  We had discussion amongst others with each other and we believed that the facts as they are set out here, would be substantially correct.
