MR STANDER
I am of the opinion that the last question that I put - I do not want to cross swords with you, but these are the improbabilities that I have to prove before this Committee, that I can argue in this regard.  And if I do point them out to the witnesses then the argument that I want to hold at the end of the day will sound hollow.
    But I have followed your train of thought and I will try to shorten my questions with regard to the other aspects.  
     Let us go over to the matter of Mr Makubalo.  Can you tell us what was the reason that you took your firearm with you the day that you wanted to go and arrest Oupa Makubalo?
