Thank you.
	Again on behalf of the victims and as Evidence Leader, I would be failing in my duty not to address this Committee fully in this particular incident.  My learned friend has differed from his usual address to the Committee and I'm going to submit, for good reason, because he's unable to raise the same arguments in this particular case as were applicable in other matters, for example like the King William's Town Golf Club attack or the Yellowwoods Hotel attack.  
	This particular incident, Mr Chairman, has a particular brutality attached to it which strikes at one of the elements of gravity, which this Committee must weigh as one of the many factors in whether granting or not of the amnesty.  
	Now understanding my learned friend's argument, and we've heard this and we understand the submissions, that it wasn't a racist struggle, it was a struggle against the oppressor, the oppressor was identified as a white person predominantly, whether that white person be a child, an old woman, an informed person or a young healthy person.  There was not distinction as to who the oppressor was among a particular group.  Oppression was associated with a white skin and visa-versa.  
	In this particular case not only do we have Mrs Brummer, a white woman who by all accounts could have been a Xhosa woman because she was accepted by the community of Sterkspruit, who spoke their language and who understood their culture, we have Mr Schroeder, a coloured man who by no stretch of the imagination could be identified as an oppressor.  The evidence of the applicants themselves, Mr Dolo, was that Mr Schroeder was shot when the barrel of the high-powered rifle was put against his neck after the car in which he had been travelling was ambushed and he was callously executed in this manner.  
	There can be no question in the mind of this Committee that the applicants could have been under any impression that this was a white man who was an oppressor who deserved to die for the sake of liberation. 
	In addition hereto we have Mr Tsemane, and I want to make a submission in public that the act or the conduct of Mr Tsemane, with respect, was possibly one of the greatest acts that we've heard of in this amnesty process, where a black man gave his life to rescue, not only a white woman or a coloured man, but a human being, and he paid the supreme price.  Was he an oppressor, with respect, was he identified by Mr Dolo as an oppressor?  Mr Chairman, it defies credulity to attack that connotation or that argument to Mr Tsemane.  
	Mr Tsemane saw the madness, and I want to say madness, that occurred on that day where Mrs Brummer was running in the road and Mr Schroeder was running in the road, being pursued by armed gunmen.  He stopped and picked up Mrs Brummer and was then attacked himself, he lost control of the vehicle and went off the road.  Mr Chairman, this was never properly canvassed, one simply accepted that Mr Tsemane was shot in that exchange of fire, however on a closer reading of the record which was put us, that is the bundle, I want to refer the Committee to the statement which Mr Makuala had written in Sotho which was translated into Afrikaans before a Magistrate and then typed, but at page 33 of the bundle it will appear from Mr Makuala's statement, that after - and that is the first paragraph,  if I may be permitted to quote, he called Mr Tsemane's vehicle the taxi.  He said:
"The white people stopped the taxi.  It stopped, they got in and it made a u-turn.  Kenny said there should be no-one shooting because he wanted to aim at it.  He aimed at it and said: 'I hit it.'  I left my spot at that time.  I was with them.  I was with them when he aimed at the vehicle.  The taxi turned but did not drive for a distance and fell into the bridge."
Now the Committee will be aware from the photographs that were handed up, that the vehicle left the road and landed up in what appeared to be a causeway of sorts.  Mr Makuala proceeded to say in his statement:
"Soon another vehicle from Sterkspruit approached.  Kenny said that I should hijack it for us to get away."
Now that fits in with the objective evidence of the teachers, the ladies that arrived in a bakkie.
"He (referring to Kenny) told Roger and Totina to stand over the bridge to check whether no-one ran away.  I then heard a gunshot.  Kenny too ..."
... and I think that's referring to Mr Dolo.
"... went over the bridge and also shot.  By that time I had already stopped a vehicle.  Inside were three women.  I told them that I was borrowing the vehicle and that they will find it in Sterkspruit."
