Well I would be very surprised if Pretoria was treating its agents by giving them instructions to get themselves out of Swaziland and shifted to Zambia and leave it to them to their own resources to achieve that shift, particularly where the person had just been made Commander of the machinery.  The deportation of Charles took place in the context of a number of arrests that were ongoing and as each person was arrested, Swaziland authorities would arrange to deport the person.  As an ANC member in this particular period, the deportation could only be to Zambia, Tanzania or Angola.  Mozambique was excluded.  But I have a report here, Chairperson, from within the Security Branch, dated 31-08-1988.  It says there, it is a routine Pretoria  Security monitoring and it says there under Clause 2 (c), 2 9(4) that Z C Ndaba, MK Charles, has been deported to Lusaka.  Its in the context of other deportations and other people leaving Swaziland.  It has been passed on within the Security Branch for the attention of Maj Taylor, it is also countersigned by Capt Botha and there are various other signatures and I have copies of that available for the Committee.  I would also like to draw your attention that during that period of 1988, Charles Ndaba was the subject of intense interest by the South African Security Police.  Efforts had been made to kill him in the Piet Retief group.  Then there were, I'll just get my dates right, the Piet Retief ambush took place on the 8th of June, then on Sunday the 12th of June,
