Oh yes, there certainly was a reason. If we had launched a counter-attack in Richards Bay, say, that it wouldn't have been easily linked with the attack earlier that morning by the PAC in Durban and that would have neutralised the whole purpose of the attack.  The purpose was that the two attacks should be linked so that both the government of the day and the PAC and other organisations should realise that the Boerevolk were prepared to fight and that we weren't simply going to lie down and allow them to walk all over us.
