MR MAPOMA
Yes, Chairperson.  The steps that were taken were that the notice was faxed to the Post Office in Bethal and a member of the staff of the Post Office was requested by our evidence analyst to deliver the notice personally to the family of the deceased.
	Then telephonically a response was received from the person who was requested to the effect that he has delivered the notice and in fact what he reported to the evidence analyst was to the effect that the mother and father of the deceased said they do not want anything to do with this particular matter.  So they did not respond, and apart from that, Chairperson, a number of letters were written by our evidence analyst, even prior to the specific request for someone to deliver the notice, advising them of this application and requesting their views regarding the matter.  Unfortunately we did not receive any response from the family.  It is against this background therefore, Chairperson, that I am of the submission that all reasonable steps were taken to notify the victims about this matter.  And therefore, sir, I ask the Committee to proceed to hear this matter.
