… Loose everything that you worked for in your life, get out of the country, go and face the so-called enemy. Tell them you’re sorry. And with your back against the wall and with the help of the world media - because they say the pen is mightier than the sword and I firmly believe it up till this day and - try then and fight this mighty apartheid system and mighty security police from outside. I just could not see my way open, exposing hit squads in South Africa in a South African court with the South African laws. It was just impossible. And the way they dealt with people like Dirk Coetzee; they made you part of the atrocities then once they push you to the side you’re isolated. If you might stand up and speak out inside South Africa, they’ll isolate you; make you a scapegoat, as it clearly was proved in 1989 when they said I was a renegade cop, a maverick cop, a guy whose mental equilibrium was upset as a result of my sugar diabetes. So I couldn’t see my way open.
