MR MOHLABA
Thank you Chair.  Madam Chairperson, the applicant has explained and testified before this Committee that he was recruited into the SDU's, that he has undergone some crash training courses and that he was also a member of the ANC Youth League, and I submit that that piece of evidence should be accepted.
	It is common knowledge Madam Chairperson, that the SDU's were establishments of the African National Congress.  It is also common knowledge that the East Rand during the period on which the offence for which the applicant is applying for amnesty, was committed, the East Rand, there was a conflict, people were getting killed in the East Rand and it has been testified here by the applicant that it is on that basis that he joined the SDU's.
	The mandate which they SDU's had, in particular the Unit in which he was operating within, was to protect the community against attacks.  Madam Chairperson, the state of mind of the applicant at the time of the event, that is the killing of Mr Mkhabela, is of primary importance for the Chair to decide on whether the applicant does qualify for amnesty or not, as opposed I submit Madam Chairperson, to the state of mind of the victim.
	I submit Madam Chair ...
