During the court hearings, several transcripts of their alleged sexual relationship appeared in the South African and British press.[35] Terre'Blanche submitted a sworn statement[36] to the London court denying he had had an affair with Allan. In a rare interview with the Afrikaans Sunday newspaper Die Rapport, his wife Martie Terre'Blanche denounced the rumours. Although the judge found that Channel 4's allegations had not defamed Allan, he did not rule on whether or not there had been an affair.[37] The South African business newspaper Financial Mail published a lead story on 6 August detailing the theory that F.W. de Klerk had orchestrated the libel case to discredit Terre'Blanche and the far right movement in South Africa.[38] Allan has continued to dismiss the claims.[39]
