PUMELELE CIVILIAN HERMANS
To the relatives of the victims, I apologise and I would like to request them to understand the fact that I did what I did, under the situation at the time, during the then government with the aim of achieving liberation or liberation for the whole nation, under the difficult conditions and oppressions that we were under.
	As I am deeply sorry, this is - all that I am saying is from the bottom of my heart.  If I had power, if I had power to raise them from their graves, I would do that, but unfortunately I cannot do that.
