	"This ANC conference which took the form of a Council of War, decided that a distinction between hard and soft targets should disappear.   The attack on South African refugees in Botswana by the racist Forces, just before the conference, emphasised the need for our movement to bleed the enemy.  On the same theme, the then President of the ANC, Oliver Tambo stated the following in an interview - I will summarise the position taken by the conference in these terms - the struggle must be intensified at all costs.   
	Over the past nine to ten months at least, at the very least, there have been many soft targets hit by the enemy, nearly 500 people had died during that period.  That works out to about 50 per month, massacred, shot down, killed secretly.  All those were very, very soft targets.  They belong to the sphere of the intensification of the struggle.  The distinction between soft and hard targets is going to disappear in an intensified confrontation, in an escalating conflict.   
	The detonation of a car bomb outside the Why Not bar took place within this context, both as a commemoration for a brutal attack on civilians in Gaberone one year previously and the commemoration of the 16th of June 1976 when hundreds of innocent school children were killed by the Security Forces."
