MS THABETHE
Mr Chairman, I have had an opportunity to consult with the victims, they are here.  It is the wife of the deceased and the brother of the deceased.  Basically what they said to me is, as long as the applicant makes full disclosure of the truth, they don't see why they should oppose the application for amnesty.
	But I outlined to them the function of the Amnesty Committee as a whole and the fact that it might appear from the applicant's evidence that the whole incident was political.  They then said to me they are not aware of such a fact and their only concern with the application for amnesty on behalf of the applicant, and if he is granted amnesty, is their safety.   They are concerned about that.
	I then outlined to them their rights to say something if they want to.  They said they will think about it and they are more interested in hearing what the applicant has to say.
