Israel
Chapter Seventy Five
"I was home one day, and the National [Intelligence] Service came by, they said there might be an M.K. [uMkhonto we Sizwe] bomb. So they ransacked the place-drawers, closets, all the house-and there was no bomb, so they just left it like that. The other day I was taken to Hartzenberg, and he started telling me that my office could no longer write statements, everything had to come from him. I said that I was not comfortable with the idea, so he said that sedition was not acceptable. It's clearly a campaign of political intimidation."

-Pik Botha (1981)

"I have decided to grant Mr Botha's request for political asylum."

-James Buckley (1981)
