Special Report Transcript Episode 69, Section 3, Time 18:41

Gen van der Merwe’s predecessor Gen Johan Coetzee said that he had no knowledge of unlawful operations being carried out within the country and denied ever having issued an illegal instruction. // I did not, I did not sir, give any policeman any illegal instruction, unlawful instruction: kill a person, assault a person or do anything of that nature sir. As a matter of fact the Vice Chairman has spoken about people in incarceration; we had extensive instructions, published; enforced orders about how these people should be dealt with sir. Not anything illegal contained in that sir, how they should be treated. If a policeman stepped outside that, he must explain that sir, he must explain his actions.
