CHAIRPERSON
Good morning everybody.  Today we'll be commencing the hearing relating to the so called Zevenfontein incident.  Before we start I'd just like to introduce the panel to those of you who were not here yesterday.
	On my right is Advocate Sibongile Sigodi, she is a member of the Amnesty Committee and she comes from Port Elizabeth.  On my left is Mr Ilan Lax, he is an attorney, also a member of the Amnesty Committee, and he comes from Pietermaritzburg.  And I am Selwyn Miller, I am a Judge of the High Court in the Eastern Cape, particularly from Umtata.
	The proceedings will be simultaneously translated into English, Zulu and Sotho.  In order to benefit from the translation you must be in possession of one of these devices.  If you haven't got one and you want to use the interpretation, I suggest that you ask the sound technician up front, and you can get one of these from him.  If you want to hear English then you turn to channel number 2, it's on here, you can see the number.  If you want Zulu, channel number 3, and if you want Sotho, channel number 4.  
	I'd just like to ask the legal representatives please to place themselves on record.
