Certainly.  Mr Chairman, myself, Colonel Oosthuizen and Colonel Bonguza, we were busy checking the office or the dining or the lounge next to the Officers' MES for a joint operational centre to be rigged up there for the elections on the 27th of April.  Colonel Oosthuizen left, I went back to my office and about half past eleven, I also got into the Police vehicle and drove to the main gate.  On my arrival at the main gate, it was closed.  A casspir, armoured vehicle was parked across the road on the outside of the gate.  I was told by a then Ciskei Police member, who was armed with an R4 or R5 rifle, that I am not allowed to leave the premises.  I was then informed that I must go back to my offices.  I then turned back and went to the Administration building of the Police College where I saw Colonel Bonguza and Colonel Oosthuizen's vehicle was also parked.  On my arrival there, I went to Colonel Bonguza's office where I found him and Colonel Oosthuizen and another Officer whom I cannot remember, where they also informed me that we were not allowed to leave and that the Police members, the then Ciskei Police members were unsatisfied and were waiting for Commissioner Nqoya, Gen Nqoya, to return, that he had a meeting with them.
