Well where does that appear in the application?  The application is only in respect of the murder and the attempted murder.
	The six counts all arise from the same incident, when a group of people attacked a vehicle and killed or sought to kill the passengers.  Two of them, Dodo Joseph Madiba and Khija John Mthembu were killed.  The other four, Ralph Dube, Mamagaluna Khomo, Aaron Mbele and Tokizani Mbele escaped with their lives but in some instances suffered serious injuries.
	This is was yet another of the incidents that arose out of the political tensions that existed in Kwazulu Natal at the time, that is on the 30th of April 1991.  	It is clear from the various statements contained in the bundle of papers put before us, that there was extreme tension on both sides and extreme hostility, that a state of almost warfare existed.  There were killings of members of both sections and the applicant has given evidence to the effect that he was an active member of the ANC and of a self-defence unit in the area and that finally the decision was taken that they would have to take some strong action to advance their political prestige and position in the area with a view to ultimately reach some agreement that would result in the killings coming to an end.
	It has not been challenged, nor could it in my view on the information before us, that the acts committed were committed as part of a political group and that the intent was certainly one which could be classified as an act with a political objective.
	They used petrol bombs and shotguns and it was quite clearly a brutal attack in which people were  unfortunately killed.  We have with us today the widows of two of the deceased and also one of the men who has suffered grievous bodily harm.  They have indicated that they do not oppose the application, that they seek reconciliation in the future, for which they are to be praised and thanked.
	We are satisfied that the applicant has made out a case for amnesty and we accordingly GRANT HIM AMNESTY IN RESPECT OF THE MURDER OF DODO JOSEPH MADIBA AND KHIJA JOHN MTHEMBU AT OR NEAR THE SYKOR BRIDGE, UMKOMAAS ON THE 30TH OF APRIL 1991, AND THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF RALPH DUBE MAMAGALUMA KHOMO, AARON MBELE, TOKIZANI MBELE AT THE SAME DATE AND PLACE.
	We are satisfied on the information placed before us, that MRS MARY MADIBA, the widow of the first-named deceased IS A VICTIM and that she has been left a widow with three young children who are still at school.
	The same is true of MRS THEMBISILE MTHEMBU, the widow of the second deceased who has been left a widow with six children, four of whom are still at school.
	There are also the three survivors of the attack, MR R B DUBE, MR AFRICA MBELE AND MR AARON MBELE.  We refer these persons to the R & R Committee for their consideration AS VICTIMS in terms of the relevant provisions of the Act.
