MR ZILWA
I quite agree with that Mr Chairman, that is why I've repeatedly stated that the applicants themselves have stated in no uncertain terms and there's no evidence to contradict that that in acting as they did, they genuinely and bona fide believed their actions were in the furtherance in the interest of their organisation and as the other member of the Committee has pointed out, all that the Act really needs is that it should be in furtherance of a political objective.
	Now as I've submitted, I don't think there can be any suggestion that in fact their act was not a furtherance of a political objective.  It's unfortunate that the history of our country has been such that in the past politics almost often as it had to be associated with race, there's no need to go on expatiating about that, it's clear.  The white race is the one that was in power, that was in control.  I'm not saying every member of the white race but people who had been responsible for the oppression of the blacks for a number of years, for many years.  Now it's unfortunate that when we talk politics of the past, we almost of necessity have to talk about race.  The point I'm trying to make is that the attack of the, by the applicants, on people of the white race should be viewed in that perspective, that according to what they have stated before this Committee, a member of the white race was responsible for the killing of a black prominent leader and in pursuance of their political objective to hurry the liberation of the black man in the hand of an oppressive white man, they felt that the killing of white people would send that message.  As I say it's unfortunate that it has to be like but that's a reality of the past which we cannot run away from.
