HENDRIK JOHANNES PETRUS BOTHA
Mbane would give a signal when the terrorists were with him in his vehicle.  The windows of his vehicle were tinted so that we could not see inside.  I think the signal was for him to switch on his indicator lights.  After Mbane arrived there and parked the car, he gave the signal after a short while.  We hit, but only to find that Khubeka was alone with Mbane in the car.  We arrested her and she was immediately removed from the car and taken to our vehicle, a Toyota panel van.
	These circumstances were not according to the plan.  It was our intention to arrest terrorists and all we had was the co-ordinator.  We had to make the best of the circumstances by following the alternative, which was to interrogate her in order to determine the hiding place of the terrorists as well as places where weapons were stored.  Ideally the purpose would be best achieved if we could win her favour by convincing her to work with us.
	I believed that nobody had observed the arrest.  We took her to the old railway police shooting range in Winkelspruit for interrogation.  At that stage we used the shooting range as an operational basis. There were ablution facilities and storage rooms.  indeed we would sleep there at night.  Some of the askaris also stayed there during their visit on this occasion.
