COLSON TEBOGO BEEA
People who were deployed were people who belonged to the Security Directorate.  I did not belong there.  I was armed because there was a request of reinforcement of those people and I'm a member of the ANC.  Even if I was not asked to reinforce, I was going to volunteer my services because I'm a member of the ANC, a member of uMkhonto weSizwe, I'm trained.  I cannot, would not have left other trained cadres and leave the responsibility of protecting the leadership, the ANC only (indistinct) when I was present.  It is not a matter of being given an instruction or wait for instruction, but as I say I was not deployed, I could not have been deployed because I did not belong to that unit of security, I belonged another directorate whose main purpose was not security, installation of VIP installation, but mainly the gathering of information.  But yes, I took up the arm simply because I'm a member of the ANC and I had that responsibility.
