MR MBOTOLI
Thank you Mr Chairperson and your honourable colleagues.  I wish to take this opportunity as follows:  before I go to the issue about this amnesty application to you and your colleagues sir, allow me first to introduce myself as follows.  I am Vulindela Mbotoli, born of the Thembo family, some 59 years ago.  My above parents in the community of (indistinct), in the district of (indistinct), in this region, taught me early on in my life to distinguish between right and wrong and they taught me discipline, loyalty to our society.   Yes of course this placed me for a long time in a very, very strenuous pain soul wise, because I was humiliated, I was a politician, a businessman for a long time.   My family was disrupted, my children lost their chances of education, but however sir, in all that it is my view, because of this background of the teachings of my parents, of my community in my early ages, and because of my current kind of life as a follower of Christianity, which always put an emphasis that is seeking solution for peaceful results as a hope of better green pastures, I know Rayner as he said, I needed to put an emphasis on that, I have travelled with him beyond the borders of former Transkei and elsewhere, I have introduced him to various leaders in our neighbouring black African States for his business, because he is an able, capable businessman.  President Mandela, our leader, has in many occasions emphasised the importance of pardoning one another in our society.  Looking around of my strains that I have experienced while I was never in the political scenario, up to this date, I might be consoling myself to say I am not worse off than the rest of the victims that have suffered.  Some are no more existent, possibly I am still having chances to achieve something or rebuild the future of my family, which is completely disrupted.  It is a well known fact sir, that I got incited in this nasty incidents because of my rights that I worked for, which my company took full responsibility and delivered because of the development of this region, in particular Transkei.  Be that the case, our Head of State, which is the first in a democratic society of South Africa, that unique character in as far as the reconciliation is concerned, President Mandela has contributed in my culture of pardoning those affecting and disturbing my rights in many ways and consequently sir, I need to say I am here to grant this amnesty application for Mr Rayner Maria Moringer, thank you sir.
