MR BRINK
Mr Chairman and members of the Committee this is the application of Nsitsikelo Don Johnson who is seeking amnesty in respect of attempted murder and the illegal possession of a firearm.
	The Investigative Unit informed me during January that they had been, at my request, to see the victim, who is Mrs Nomsa Hanabe, with the view to obtaining a statement from her. She, however, declined to make a statement and advised the investigator that she was not interested in the amnesty or the Truth Commission, so she was completely uncooperative.    Nonetheless, she has been served by registered post with a Form to a Notice and I don't know whether she is here but I very much doubt it.   I would just call her name.   Is Mrs Nomsa Hanabe here?   She is not present.
	I understand that the applicant, for moral reasons, does not want to take the oath so he would be affirmed or affirmation administered to him.  
	I just leave my learned friend to place himself on record.
