That's right, this is a quotation, in fact it's - yes, it's a quotation from a letter by a certain Theo Malherbe who - until May of 1993, had been the Secretary of the South African Communist Party's Cape Town branch and he was one of thousand's of people Chris Hani's funeral here in Johannesburg and he was outraged that the leadership of the ANC led alliance, had not used this opportunity of mass anger to call for an insurrection and he wrote us this letter - I won't read all of it, I'll read parts of it.  Theo Malherbe writes"
"In the night vigil at Hani's funeral, all the regions were calling for revolutionary mass actions/wall with the exception of one of two regions.  The leadership is out of touch with these sentiments, who are they representing, how can national ignore regions"?
And then towards - about the seventh last line:
"Chris Hani's funeral was an occasion to prepare for insurrection but our leadership failed.  Their demand for arms is not a political response but a political response to low-intensity warfare.  I will not be a member of the Communist Party that sees negotiation as the only option"
We actually published this letter later in the year - in our official Party organ, the African Communist.  We felt we should be should do so because it reflected - at the time we felt we should do so, open up this debate because it reflected a powerful feeling that existed within the ranks of active Party members and we believe also active ANC members as well.  
	We disagreed with the sentiment and the individual left the Party as a result but it was a barometer of popular feeling and I think, gives an indication of how much the work of the leadership of the alliance was cut out in this period - in the days and weeks that followed the assassination, to get control of the situation to ensure that our mass base did not give in to the provocation and that this assassination was intended to be and was in fact but it was a difficult battle.
