CHAIRPERSON
Mr Ndou, you're misunderstand me, or maybe you don't understand me properly.  That there were confrontations with the deceased may be true.  The version of the applicant is not that the deceased was killed because of his confrontations.  The version of this applicant is that the deceased was killed because of his arrogance in not wanting to adhere to the "trek pass" instructions and that he said he would do as he pleases.  There were various attempts to get him removed, through the police etc., and the inhabitants said well then we're going to take the thing in our own hands. and that is how he met his death.
	Now this political motive is a requirement of the Act.  How does it play a part, or how do we establish it, if at all, in this application?
