ANDRIES CORNELIUS OOSTHUIZEN
Simon who gave evidence.
	As parents, I would also ask our government and ask them in the circumstances in which we live now and considering the fact that we are a community which must build up our country not break it down, I want to ask them is it not possible for them to bring back the death penalty.  It doesn't matter is found guilty, it doesn't matter which race or colour but that they should bring back the death sentence so that we have something to deter people from committing crime.
	From these accused I would like to know, and I want to look them in the eye and ask them: "Do you know what you have done to us.  A child, he was not even 21 years old and a person who did everything for the interests of this country, who went out without a firearm to you, he did not have a chance to say one word to you but you immediately started shooting at these two children and now you come and you make this kind of talk and you're not telling the truth.  Do you know how that feels, do you know what you are doing to us?  Me and my wife were at the point of a divorce.  It's nothing to lose a parent but to lose a child is very hard.  And if it was in the interest of this country I still could have accepted it but it was not in the interest of our country, it was robbery.  It doesn't matter what you say today but what I've inferred it's about robbery and I accept it as robbery.  
	And I want to ask you this, did you find peace with God, with our God who gave us this country and who gave us this life.  We are not justified to take life.  What are you going to do when you leave here, are you going to continue breaking down this country or are you going to stand together with us so that we can build up this country?  That is my question to you.  I can forgive you with my mouth but in my heart I cannot do that.
	As far as my information is concerned you were not telling the truth, you only spoke in such a way in order to free yourselves.  That is all, Chairperson, that I would like to say.
