ADV VISSER
Well then we've succeeded in what we wanted to place before you.  Thank you Mr Chairman.
	Mr Chairman, the first witness, perhaps I should give an outline Mr Chairman. 
	What we intend to do is first of all to call the officer in command of Far Northern Transvaal Security Branch of the police to give you a general background and also, as far as he personally was aware of the facts as related to him and as far as he was personally involved in the planning and organisation for this operation.  We will then call for you, he is Colonel Willem van der Merwe.  We'll call him first.  
	Then logically we will call thereafter Brigadier Nick Coetsee who was second in command, his evidence might not be that long but to fill in that gap.
	Then Mr Chairman what we will do is to call Mr Koos van den Berg who was the link from the original contact, or the original information and how that information was fed through, and then you will remind yourselves that in the application forms what was done, was that only in Mr Erwee's application were the facts set out and all the others just referred to, to him.
	What we'll then do is to call Erwee and then one can go into detail about the incident, I would presume.  Thereafter Mr Chairman we will have to call Mr Fuchs for whatever the relevance may be of the evidence of Sehlwana, as far as he's concerned.  And we will call Mr Swart because you will remind yourself that he has applied for amnesty in regard to defeating the ends of justice relating to the inquest.  Also Erwee and Swart that have applied for amnesty in this regard.
	And then Mr Chairman, as I said before, we will present the other witnesses to you but we don't believe that they would be able to take the matter any further.
	I would then ask for Colonel van der Merwe to take the stand Mr Chairman, he prefers to give his evidence in Afrikaans.
	Your full names please?
