With respect, as it was understood there was a 
climate of war because a large proportion of the white population 
viewed this as a climate of war, and there was resistance against 
this and various groups made various statements which have 
already been submitted as evidence before you, and clearly there 
was a climate of war.
	It was carried over as a fact that a resistance would take 
place, that the deceased was bringing in weapons from Angola, 
there was talk of when the ANC would lay down their weapons, 
that history exists and with respect there was definitely a climate 
of war and it must be considered that a number of acts of violence 
took place.
	This proved it self until the elections had taken place, there 
were many acts of violence which were done in opposition to this 
ANC/SACP takeover.  Visser testified yesterday that the ballot 
boxes be blown up to prevent people from voting, there were all 
those explosions which were actually about something else, but 
the preceding history indicates that this climate did exist, and was 
promoted until the very last moment.
