CHAIRPERSON
Good afternoon everybody.  I apologise for the delay in the start of this matter, had certain logistical problems.  One of the applicants required a legal representation and Mr van Rensburg has very kindly, on short notice, stepped in, for which we are grateful indeed.
	Before we start, I would just like to introduce the panel to you.  On my right is Judge Khampepe.  Judge Khampepe is a member of the Amnesty Committee and she is attached to the Cape Court.  On my left is Advocate Bosman, also a member of the Amnesty Committee, also from the Cape, and I am Selwyn Miller, Judge from the Eastern Cape attached to the Transkei Division of the High Court.
	These proceedings will be simultaneously translated, and in order to benefit from the translation you have to be in possession of one of these devices.  They are available from the sound technician in front, so if you wish to benefit from the translation, please make sure you have one of these devices.  Translation will be English and Venda.  Is that correct?
	I would like to at this stage ask the legal representatives please to place themselves on record.
