COMMISSIONER
Mrs Mthembu, thank you, both of you, very much for coming in today.  The incident that you have described to us is a famous one in the history of Chesterville, and many of us here know about it.  It was a classic set-up or a trap which was laid by the police for those young boys, and as far as we know, the information that we have is that the whole episode, the whole incident was arranged - organised by members of the Vlakplaas unit in the Transvaal together with members of the Security Branch here in Durban.  These boys were murdered in a situation where it was impossible for them to have even defended themselves in any manner.  And, as your son says, the inquest Magistrate - I recall from the time - he allowed the witnesses to give evidence completely in camera, with their faces covered, and this should never ever have been allowed.
We are glad that the two of you were able to be here today, and that you were able to be supported by your son, and we hope it was of some comfort to you.  We will do everything possible to find out why this happened, and if necessary to call those people who caused this to happen to come before this Commission so that they can explain themselves.  So we thank you very much for coming in today.  Thank you.
