Yes, no they weren't, they were - we took responsibility as the ANC and as the alliance, to help communities where requested to launch SDU's, so we assumed some political responsibility but you will see again in the quotations that we've used from Chris Hani, that in the week before his assassination he was proposing - let me just find the appropriate quotation on that issue - on page eight, the second paragraph.  That follows the other paragraphs from this speech that he gave on April the 2nd on the East Rand where he says
"Look there's this mixed track record and some have gone off the rails, it's a huge problem"
And he lists the reasons and he says:
"We now need to debate the merits and possible problems of formally locating the township SDU's within the structure of the National Peace Accord.  We need at least to think and to debate this possibility"
In other words, what he's saying is: "We've had some responsibility for their launching, we must continue to have responsibility for problems but they're not ANC structures, they're community defence structures and isn't therefore the appropriate home for them - the National Peace Accord".  
	He was floating that idea and obviously the process overtook us but you can see where his thinking was travelling and that was in line with our conception of self-defence.
