Chairperson, although we had pretended to Shabalala that Ndaba had also been arrested, it was clear that he did not believe it.  These accusations  were of concern to Ndaba and he was concerned about his future.  On Thursday the 12th of July and before the instruction came that they should not proceed with arrests, after this instruction had been given to du Preez and the other members they had during the observation of Siphiwe Nyanda, also MK Kibusa, arrested him.  After what I'd heard it was necessary because he became aware that they were busy following him and observing him.  The arrest of Nyanda caused a chain reaction of arrests of other people who were already known to us.  These arrests became necessary for the persons would escape as soon as the news of Nyanda's arrest became known and as such on the 12th of June 1990 as far as I can recall, approximately 12 to 15 persons who were involved with Operation Vula, had been arrested.
	I informed Ndaba the evening of Nyanda and the others' arrests and he was visibly upset because of the news.  Because of these arrests which had taken place, I accompanied Gen Steyn on Friday the 13th to Pretoria for further information and instructions.  It was decided to establish a national investigative team which would be under the command of Col Zen de Beer from Durban.  The same day we returned from Pretoria to Durban.
	On my return from Pretoria I found that Ndaba was in a terrible state.  He was morbid and unsure of himself.  I spoke to Gen Steyn on Saturday the 14th of July and informed him.
