CHAIRPERSON
We will await your heads of argument then, but deal with those issues that we've raised with you in addition to the issue of proportionality.
	We've come to the end of this hearing.  We hope to be able to make a decision on the issues very soon after receiving Mr Koopedi's argument.  And I want to thank the logistics officer for arranging this hearing.  Also special thanks to all the interpreters, it is a thankless job, it is a difficult job.  To the applicants for taking advantage of the opportunities to come to terms with life.  And in particular I want to address the victims and those people who have lost love ones.  Unfortunately this country has experienced a terrible life over the last couple of hundred years.  
	There are other people who have similarly lost loved ones, especially during the times, the height of the apartheid regime.  That does not, and I don't intend to suggest, that what happened in the events which we are concerned with is justified.  If for nothing else, for humanitarian reasons one can appreciate the feelings and the hurt that you experience, and one can only hope that in an endeavour to bring to fruition what we started in this country in 1994, that we can, with time, come to terms with what has happened.  
	I'm not going to suggest forgiving or forgetting, that is a matter for each individual person, but I can only hope that with time the emotional aspects of your lives will tend to be remedied.  I'm not too sure what we're going to find or what decision we're going to come to in this matter, I can only draw your attention to the fact that this Committee intends to apply the law as best it can, and whatever decision we make will be in terms of that law, and probably in the interest of this country.  
	I thank those victims and those who lost their loved ones for participating in this extraordinary and unusual process.  It is intended to bring people together like we should have been many hundreds of years ago, but as I said it was an unfortunate experience of this country, and it is the duty of each of us to press on so that we rectify the wrongs as best we can.
	This hearing is now closed, I thank you.
