Well we were trying to get that across, we were trying to say that this is a twin track policy, it's not the old war that we were fighting up until 1991.  	What we've got now is a complicated situation, we are in a negotiations process, the regime realises it cannot continue to rule in the old way, so it's sincere in that sense.  These are not dummy talks, they are real talks and they are real negotiations but in the process of those negotiations they are seeking to bring pressure to bear upon us - to weaken our demands, to make us back down, to qualify, to moderate and to modify our demands just as we were.
	We were using the weapon of mass mobilisation, of mass organisation, of protests, of demands, to bring to bear on the negotiations process our perspectives.  And what Chris Hani was saying and what we were saying was: "For heaven's sake, don't fall into the trap of violence - that is their strong card,  they've got an army, we have an MK that is much smaller - tiny, that has returned from exile - don't fall into the trap.  
	Our strength is politics, our strength is our moral position and our moral perspective, let us play to that strength.  We have to somehow deal with the violence that's being visited against us and therefore we have the right to defend ourselves but that isn't our strong card, so for heavens sake, don't make the political error of thinking that a return to the bush - a return to armed struggle, is going to carry our cause forward, it's not going to", so that was his position - that was our position.
