Another interesting piece of information relating to the question of when he was recruited can be found in his ID Book issued 1981-10-16. His address is given in this ID book as Box 10891. Marine Parade 4056. Significantly, the Polaris Shipping address was Box 10220. Marine Parade 4056.

INTELLIGENCE OPERATION IN MAPUTO

Before he located to Maputo, Bacon was sent to the Far East to visit the head office of Gold Star Shipping in Hong Kong. The reason for this, according to Bacon, was that Polaris Shipping was an agency for Gold Star Shipping and he was therefore sent there to get familiar with the head office and to study the harbour. He was also sent to Kobe in Japan to meet with the representatives for Gold Star Shipping in Kobe. He spent altogether ten days in the Far East before he returned to South Africa and shortly afterwards he was sent to Maputo.

The address given in Nigel Barnett's ID Book issued on 1993-03-23 was No 151 Glowesner Rd, Hong Kong, which corroborates the information given by Bacon. The address given in the two passports that have been seized, one issued on 1990-01-22 and the other one 1992-11-16, is also in Hong Kong.

This "legend" (cover) is also outlined in a telex-letter" dated 11 November 1986, which was addressed to "The National Director, Ministry of Immigration, Maputo, Mozambique“. The letter refers to Mr. Nigel Barnett's application for a Residence card (D.I.R.E.). The sender of this telex, unknown, states that Mr. Barnett emigrated permanently from South Africa to Hong Kong in 1982, when he took up employment with Gold Star Line. Furthermore, it is stated that Mr. Barnett "has represented the company in Kobe(Japan), Bangkok(Thailand) and Colombo(Sri Lanka)". It is also stated that he “first represented Gold Star in Maputo and Beira, Mozambique, during 1983 when he travelled as a “Super cargo" on the Gold Star Linc vessels. Finally, the letter refers to Mr. Balaji in Hong Kong or Mr. C. Stringer in Mozambique. A copy of this telex letter was found in the Durban Nedbank Safety deposit box.

The link between the DCC and Gold Star Shipping is of interest. It has been alleged that Gold Star Shipping and its “sister-company“ Black Star Shipping was a front for one of the Israeli Intelligence agencies. Bacon has also mentioned that he met with a Mr. Zimmerman who was the head of the Gold Star Shipping office in Hong Kong and with a Mr. Ami Pamper who held the corresponding position in Kobe. In Kobe, he also saw people who allegedly were from the Israeli Embassy in Japan delivering envelopes to people on boats belonging to Gold Star Shipping.

The intelligence gathering that he was supposed to carry out has been described by himself in his hand-written letter as follows:

1984 - 1987

Maputo harbour. Gather information relating to the activities in the harbour, e.g. how many cranes and forklifts in working
