00.59.12 WIDE PRESS TABLE
00.59.18 FW: This was a case which should never have happened. It was clear from the outset that the basis for the case against General Malan & the generals & other senior officers was questionable. Even from a distance it was clear that the grounds on which the prosecution was based, legal grounds, were flimsy and some what far fetched.
00.59.49 I believe that the accused should never have been charged & that they have been done an injustice...now that the case is over, at least we can say that justice had prevailed and for that the NP is thankful.
