MR SHANE
Mr Chairman, I can't show you an empowering clause, but if the purpose of your function is the promotion of national unity and reconciliation, Mr Chairman, there are no rules, there is no precedence, there is no court rules to go on, this is not a court of law, I submit by the very nature of the legislation, promotion of national unity and reconciliation, it would mean that your application of the rules should not in any way be restricted and I would submit Mr Chairman, that only if there were for instance, if there was evidence before you that the applicant was not there, that he was lying or that he came the following day, too late, that is a different issue.
	I submit Mr Chairman, with the evidence of Sally Sealy, with the evidence of the previous applicant that Buthelezi was present, I submit that you cannot view it in a restrictive way with the greatest respect sir.
