CHAIRPERSON
Could we, in Reverend Friedman's prayers, remember the Chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, okay I will wait.  Can you settle down?  Thank you, thank you.  I was saying could we, in Reverend Friedman's prayer, remember the Chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who is lying ill and yet we fervently believe that sooner or later he will recover and be with us.  So this gives an account why he is not with us here today.  We will pray for him at all times.  Perhaps, first, I should introduce the members of the panel, but, perhaps, even before I do that, let me thank the Mayor of Duduza, Ntombe, for her services that show the welcome she extends to us, how hospitable she is and we thank you and your fellow counsellors.  Could you please stand, Ntombe.
 Then I would like to introduce members of my panel, of the panel.  On my far left I have Mrs Joyce Seroke.  She is the Committee member of the Human Rights Violations Committee.  Next to me is Dr Russell Ally who is the Committee of the Human Rights Violations Committee.  On my right I am flanked by Mr Hugh Lewin, he is the Committee member of the Human Rights Violations Committee.  Speaking to you is Thomas Manthata, member of the Reparation and Rehabilitation Committee and before we can proceed I am going to request Mr Hugh to guide us on how to use the earphones.
