MR COETZER
Honourable Chairperson, I thank you for granting me the opportunity.  Before we commence the proceedings there are two points that I would like to address you on.  I have been given instruction on behalf of the TRC to appear for the victims in this matter.  However, no victims have arrived and I do not have any further instructions, therefore I would like to request to be excused from these proceedings, but I would like to address you on the following matter which I also have before the Commission.
