NYAMEKA GONIWE
(sworn states)
The name of Matthew Goniwe is known not only throughout the Eastern Cape, not only throughout South Africa but in many many parts of the world, but your name is equally well known and we are very grateful that despite the ordeal that you have been through in facing two inquests, one of which lasted a very long time, which didn't end satisfactorily as far as you're concerned, but you still have the grace and the willingness and the courage to come and tell the story, we believe that that is right and we are very very grateful to you for being here, we hope that you will feel amongst friends and that you can be very relaxed and take your time and John Smith will lead you as you tell your story to the nation.
