DR BORAINE
I call to the witness stand, Vuka Mswazi Tshabalala.  I gather that you will not be using the headphones and let me begin, Judge Tshabalala of the Transkei Supreme Court, I want to welcome you very warmly to this Commission.  It's not often that you are being welcomed.  You normally are presiding, and therefore we are particularly glad and grateful that you have seen fit to come to this Commission.  As we have stressed many times, this Commission has its doors wide open and we hope as many people as possible will come forward and we are glad that you are here, but you are here on a very sad mission, because this has to do with the death of your wife, Pearl Tshabalala, in 1988.  Before I ask you to take the oath, perhaps you would be good enough to tell us who is with you today.
