W RIAAN BELLINGAN
I was a Sergeant at the time and we went to a function on Robben Island and General Johan Coetzee, who was the Commissioner of the Police at the time, was there and so was Minister le Grange and in the bus he said to Minister le Grange that these are Schoon's people who work in the Cape and he asked me what does the situation look like, what are you doing and I said that I am, I was hoping for a breakthrough and we had started infiltrating and le Grange wished me all the best and shook my hand.
	After the shooting there was also a function held at Maitland to thank us for the good work we had done after the shooting of the Guguletu 7 and we were also wished everything of the best by Minister le Grange.  So, my belief was that our actions carried the approval and the blessing of the Generals and the politicians, because the remark was also made that a silver cross should be, also, given to me for my bravery, but I said I was not interested in that.  I would like to place it on record though.
