MR PIET MEIRING
Thalitha, Rachel if I may call you that, we have listened to your story you've taken us back eleven years in history, but we can see, we heard that the wounds are still open that it is very painful. We saw your tears, we listened to your story and you can know that each and everyone in this hall are with you and are feeling with you, we do hope that by, in time the wounds will be healed you can know that your son has not died in vain. There were many other children, young people, older students who died during the past, but he did not die in vain. We really pray that the Lord will bless you and that you will find rest.
 We've taken note of everything you told us as far as is humanly possible we'll try and trace the people, find out what really happened and hopefully we will be able to present you with new facts at some stage we will try our level best. Thank you please take our blessing and our greetings to the rest of the family. Thank you for coming.  
 Before we leave for lunch, it is nearly time for lunch, there is one important announcement that Ms Joyce Seroke would like to make to you. Please listen carefully to what she is saying.
