ADV MEMANI
Mr Chairman, the evidence was that Mr Mamome fired shots and he missed. The victim ran away, and in an attempt to encircle him, one group went on the one side and Motsamai apparently does not say whether he was with another person on the side of the house, went on the other side. Whilst he was on the other side he heard shots. He does not say that all of them shot, he says that he heard shots, and that is not a suggestion that everyone of them shot. But the suggestion is that it is now being said that he is the only one who shot because there is a conspiracy against him.
	Mr Chairman, we cannot say at the end of the day that because several shots were fired at Makubalo and people missed Makubalo, therefore there was no intention to shoot him or that no shots were fired at Makubalo. Of importance is that Mr Motsamai is applying for amnesty as a result of the fact that he together with other policemen fired shots at Makubalo, reckless as to the consequences of firing those shots at Makubalo. It is not his application that they purely wanted to kill him; he says, "we went there to arrest him or to kill him, we did not care", and that is the basis of his application.
	Mr Chairman, may I look through the notes? At the time I was interrupted I was saying that Mr Motsamai's commission of these offences was clearly not for personal gain and there was no personal malice that motivated Mr Motsamai to commit these things. If there had been any friction between the people that he attacked and himself, it arose only because of the fact that they were activists and he was a policeman.
