CHAIRPERSON
: Mr Modise, thank you for coming today to tell your story to us. I listened very carefully when you said that the day after your torture you were taken to the magistrate and the magistrate did not give you a chance to talk, would not give you a chance to tell your story.
 Well after all these years, your time  has come, and today was your time to tell your story and we listened to your story as we listen to the stories of thousands of victims, but we will take your story very seriously, and you may know that in one way or another your story will also be reflected in the report of the Truth Commission.
 Our best wishes go with you. We've taken note of your requests and we will give attention to that, and we do hope that your life in future, even though you have no work and even though you still suffer, that you'll have a bright future, and the Lord bless you. Thank you for coming.
 It is time for tea, during tea a number of things will happen. The staff will arrange for a number more seats, more chairs to be put in front and maybe in the back of the hall. During tea time, those of you who do not have earphones or these boxes, can come to the front to ask for boxes to be given to you. Remember on channel 2 it is in English, on channel 3 you will find the Tswana translation of everything that's being said. We can now break for tea. May I ask that promptly at 12 o'clock, promptly at 11.50am we would like to restart. Thank you.
