HENDRIK JOHANNES PETRUS BOTHA
Mr Chairperson, daily we had morning conferences under the Chairpersonship of Gen Steyn, his rank was then Colonel and then later Brigadier.
	Apart from those morning conferences, there were special meetings held with the Officers' Corps whereby at various opportunities it was said that we must get this country out of this mess.  We cannot allow terrorism to take over and Colonel Steyn was a very fiery person when it is about the activities.  He places pressure on you to such an extent that it didn't matter for us how long we worked in a day.
	That, and then certain statements by politicians, activity requests for cross border operations, if there would be acts of terror the SADF would then react in a counter attack.  We had to react on all of this.
