MARY BURTON
Thank you Chairperson - there some announcements that we make just before we begin, many of you  will have in your seats the -  the headphone system, we don't have quite enough for every chair in the hall, so if you sitting where there isn't one, there are plenty more here at the front.  The headphones are for the translation service that we provide.  You - you operate them with this  part of it and on Channel 1 you will get Afrikaans, on Channel 2, English and on Channel 3, Xhosa.
 When you leave the room at tea time or at lunch breaks and so on, please leave the headphones and the gadgets that go with them on your seats.  They need to be recharged, so please leave them on the chairs when you move about.  Those of you who have cell phones, please make sure that they are switched off during the proceedings so  that we have no interruptions  and also we would ask you  while witnesses are testifying please not to move around in the hall and distracts them.
 I know that some of you are possible bothered a bit by these very bright lights, if you want now to move to  a seat that you might not find it so troublesome, please do, there is space at the front.  
We would like very much to  welcome friends and supporters and members of the public who have come to attend this  hearing.  I can  see that we have Bishop Adams from Oudtshoorn and Father Luyt here, there may be other people who  require a special welcome, but we are very-very glad to have all of you here and we feel  certain that as the witnesses tell their  story, they will feel supported by the interest and concern of members of  the public.
