explosions where people died.   He admitted his involvement withone of the landmine incidents where people died.  There was ageneral state of emergency and unrest, rebellion, arson and murderall over the country.  If we had caught them the network wouldsimply have changed.  It was necessary to kill them in order todestroy the entire cell.  No one knew what had happened to them. After this we blew them up with a landmine so that it would beimpossible to recognise them.  This was on a road in Bophuthatswanaclose to Warmbaths.  This action was directly due to the generalinstruction of Brig Johan Viktor to sort out problems becausethe country was going up in flames.  It was additionally underthe instructions of Brig Cronje.  The purpose was to neutralisethe cell.  We did not enjoy doing this, we did not want to dothis, but we had to stop them  from killing innocent women andchildren.  It was additionally necessary to do this because wewere at war with the ANC.  I have tremendous respect for HaroldSefola because of the way in which he behaved during the process of us killing him.
