MR MALAN
Mr Chairman, if I may make a last appeal to all parties, both victims and applicants. If we can look at the past on the basis of a past that if we all could wish it away, we would have done so. In that sense, the conflict of the past, from whichever vantage point we're viewing it, was really the main perpetrator so to speak of suffering, causing suffering amongst both victims and perpetrators, on all sides of the conflict.
	And if the meeting would lead to accepting that, to put the past beyond us and to indeed fully restore the relationships of family, friendships, then this process would have been worthwhile. And that is my appeal for the meeting to both the victims and the applicant, and when having met with each other, walking away to really take this future on hand in hand, as co-builders of a future both restoring and building on what is ahead. Thank you, Chair.
