W RIAAN BELLINGAN
At one point I did ask for a transfer after I did an Officers Course and the feeling was that I should not leave, that we were going through a very, very difficult time and I think it was said that the old operators should not run away and Colonel de Kock was satisfied with my services, he saw me as a good group leader and he regularly commended me and also wrote complimentary notes on my file and I enjoyed my work.  Today we are actually sorry that we were so exploited and abused by the generals and the politicians.
