CHAIRPERSON
Mr Van der Merwe, do you propose to address us?  Would you like to address us to highlight the relevant portions of the Act which have a bearing on your client's application?
MR VAN DER MERWE ADDRESSES COMMITTEE ON MERITS OF APPLICATION
	Mr Commissioner and Committee, I shortly - I don't intend to address the Commission at length.  As far as the evidence of Mr Nieuwoudt is concerned, I am of the opinion, and I submit to the Committee, that his actions do qualify as per the qualifications which is laid down by the Act. I don't know if there is any specific incident in which the Committee would like to hear me. It is quite clear that this assault had taken place in circumstances where he was trying to achieve a political goal, which would be the restoring of law and order and also bringing to an end the consumer boycott which was being practised in this area at that stage.
