The officers and their hostage issue and issues that followed, they were parallel to each other because we were not going to be able to take officers as hostages and then on the other side Gqozo was mobilising that this should be disrupted.  We wanted this to be hand in hand because you cannot focus on one issue, so they were going hand in hand.  So these things were parallel to each other, they were going hand in hand.  Yes indeed officers were taken hostage, but at the end we had achieved our objective, Gqozo resigned.  So it depends on that particular officer, what time he had arrived in the hall.  Even those who didn't arrive we took them hostage because we went to their houses to fetch them.
