MR DU PLESSIS: Mr Chairman, I'm finished with that point.
Mr Maharaj, now in respect of Mr Marius Schoon and Jeanette Schoon, let's deal with them first? You have given us information and you have testified to the effect that they supported the struggle in exactly the same way that you did. Mr Marius Schoon also testified to that effect. You don't have any problem with that?
MR MAHARAJ: Supported yes, correct.
MR DU PLESSIS: And that they supported all the actions of the ANC?
MR MAHARAJ: Yes they accepted the policy.
MR DU PLESSIS: Including all the military operations and everything within the policy?
MR MAHARAJ: They accepted that policy.
MR DU PLESSIS: And that they supported the struggle to overthrow the South African Government and to obtain or to reach a situation where there was a national convention and a new constitution?
MR MAHARAJ: Yes Sir, so did Olaf Palme, Prime Minister of Sweden.
MR DU PLESSIS: Which by the way eventually did happen, isn't that so?
MR MAHARAJ: Which happened and which led to the death of Olaf Palme in Sweden.
MR DU PLESSIS: Yes, I didn't ask you about that Mr Maharaj, let's leave that alone. Now Mr Maharaj, in respect of the Schoons and what they were doing in Botswana, when did you now become aware that the second statement of the ANC to the Truth Commission was wrong in respect of their position pertaining to the senior organ?
