CHAIRPERSON
I want to thank all of you.  We sympathise with you as Reverend Xundu has already said.
 We sympathise with those who lost their family members, but as I've already said to the people from Matatiele, the Commission is not supposed to deal with the conflicts amongst the villages.
 People can do that by themselves.  What we are looking at is the conflict, political conflict before 1994.  The cases of conflict between Chiefs and the people, is not one of the requirements of this Commission, we are not a Tribal Court, we are the Commission for the Truth and Reconciliation.
 You made requests to the Commission and we will forward your requests to the President.  If we made investigations and we found out that your incidents fall under our act, and you were injured because of the apartheid of the past Government, we will look into your matters.
 We thank one of  you by saying that you have to sit down and negotiate and discuss your problems in your villages.  I don't know what is going on in villages, because I used to stay in villages and people used to sit down and solve their problems.
 Unfortunately, Chief is not here because I also wanted him to be here so that I can address you together with him.
 The answer will not come from heaven or from Mandela,
the solution will not come from the  Commission, but it will come amongst the people of the villages if they can sit down and discuss their problems.
 Thank you.
