seldom leaves and then only for short periods when warring against those to whom he has taken a dislike. The three guerillas appear to spend most of their time in Malakazi township. The resting places of these four men should be ideal for your purposes and details are attached. Other information you will need are in other sections of this document.
    ‘That is a comprehensive statement on these four blacks,’ said Dalton. ‘I’ll read the rest in the car, where they are staying and their movements. Teichmann said you wanted to drive.’
    ‘Yes,’ said Krige. ‘For part of the way you can concentrate on the document. First, I want to park further down the road or up a side road, somewhere less conspicuous. Wandering eyes soon take an interest in a vehicle that doesn’t move for three days. Bring the Ford.’
    Dalton followed in his car and when Krige parked in a side road he drew up behind. He opened his car boot and took out the 7mm Remington, in its scabbard, a Browning 9mm pistol and the Beretta 93R for Krige, both in holsters. The Beretta had the unique capability for a pistol in that it had a 20-round magazine and could fire, if necessary, three rounds in a single burst. It was the finest pistol Krige had used. There was a silencer for each gun.
    The t wo men were soon on the main road that went through Pretoria and on to Pietermaritzburg 800 kilometres away. The turning to the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, home of the blacks, was in Pietermaritzburg.
    ‘You will see in one of the sections the locations of the men,’ said Krige. ‘As far as their movements go it is a guess and we will have to find that out for ourselves. The group don’t know the details and I can imagine their difficulty. Very briefly, Shozi’s house is in the Edendale Valley, fifteen kilometers from Pietermaritzburg, five kilometers from Umbali township and four kilometers this side of Malakazi township. It is shown on the map. The area is very pretty, very quiet and the house, with quarters for the guards, is near the main road. It is the only road around. The Xhosas are staying in a room in Malakazi that belongs to the mayor of the township, a man named Dhlamini and is a few hundred metres from his house. I am confident both houses will be easy to find. If not we will have to call on the mayor.’
    Krige paused then went on. ‘As the document said we should go first for Shozi. Before then, I want to go and picture the layout of Malakazi. There is a footpath that goes along the side of the main road between Umbali and Malakazi and passes Shozi’s house. The whole area is grass and woodland and I believe there are trees partly blocking the house from the path and the road.’ Krige turned down the window. ‘Amongst the trees there is a kopje and a trout stream that virtually follows the path. After Malakazi we will head for Shozi and take a vantage point in the kopje .’
    ‘You have certainly prepared yourself,’ said Dalton. ‘I am impressed.’
    ‘It is all in the document,’ said Krige. ‘There is quite a bit more. I have spent time reading it. Teichmann and his people did a good job. In a while we will stop for something to eat and buy some food and water for later. This could be a long job and we won’t find a shop on every corner.’

    While he was involved with the Cartwright affair, Steiner had left a senior student to take the karate sessions. He did not know how he could help Smith any more and there would be little chance of getting the original file from Staples, unless the copy was found and the National Prosecuting Authority became involved. And, Smith had not asked him for any advice.
    On a cool evening when he did not hav e a class he phoned Sophie Carswell.
    She picked up the phone and was pleased to hear him . After a few words he said: ‘Would you like to go to the beachfront for something to eat.’
    ‘I would love to but I have been asked out by a guy at the dance school,’ she
