MR SITHOLE
Thank you Madam Chair.  I think there is no dispute as to the political motivation of the offence.  The only outstanding aspect in my view is the question of full disclosure.
	It is my submission that the applicant Mr Radebe, has failed to show to this Commission, that he has disclosed fully the incidents leading to the attack as well as his participation in the attack.
	The victims as well as the evidence of Johanna Msibi, state clearly that he was one of the perpetrators and she also gives a background as to why he committed the said offence.
	When Mr Radebe is asked as to why he misled the trial court, there are three different answers that come forth.  He initially told this Committee that he doesn't know, he again said he was protecting himself as well as his colleagues, and in the affidavit that is before this Committee, he states further that he was told to admit the offence by his colleagues.
	Those are signs of failure to disclose as to the circumstances, the full circumstances relating to the commission of the offence.
	If Mr Radebe came to this Committee and led this Committee as to the real reason why the offence was committed and that he committed the offence, there would be no reason why this Committee wouldn't give him amnesty.  It is a clear indication that yes, there was a fight between UWUSA and FAWU and there is a perception nationally that UWUSA is a union which always aligns itself with IFP and on the other side, FAWU aligns itself with the ANC.
	I would ask this Commission to dismiss his application only on the basis that he failed to disclose to this Committee, thank you.
