I just want to put this request forward that these attackers, they say they want amnesty or they have applied for amnesty - I'm asking as to why they want to be forgiven because according to my own opinion they did this with full intention.  They moved from a certain place to where they attacked us.  Now, this was a distance.    It indicates fairly well that this was planned.  To me this looks like a cold blooded murder, they were killing animals.  They never new that they were not only killing us but they were killing our families as well.
	If they had intended to kill politically, why didn't they go to the place where the attack took place or the initial attack took place?  They attacked us.  We were innocent victims coming back from work now we are in such a predicament and suffering.   Our children are suffering as a result of the attack.  The education that we wanted to give our children can no longer be fulfilled because of them.  They wanted to do us down.
	According to them, they decided to do this because we were Black.  I do not see any logic whatsoever for me to forgive a person who has rendered me to be what I am today.  My future is now bleak as well as my children's future.  When you are not working, having a family, a wife as well as children ...[end of tape 1 side A]  ... because of people who attacked innocent people.
	As I'm talking, I'm in so much pain.  The pain doesn't end, physically as well as mentally.  Each time I pass where the attack took place, I get panic attacks.  I don't know how I can phrase this in any clearer way than what I've already said.  Now I'm wondering as to whether this forgiveness they are asking for - is it from deep down inside their hearts or is it on the surface.  Or maybe they have just come because they know there's a Commission, now they just want to be part of the boiling pot.  
	I do not really believe that they have any remorse whatsoever.  Their children are quite comfortable, their wives are comfortable.  My children as well as my wife are suffering.  It is very painful that as the head of the family, there's absolutely nothing you can do for your family.  You cannot even do the house chores, there's absolutely nothing you can do.  Now, here comes a person asking for forgiveness.  Even children get punished for whatever wrongs that they do, now why should they be forgiven when our children are now suffering.
	They should be forgiven and their children should continue with their education.  I am totally dissatisfied and I refuse to do that because when the case was still on in Durban, we were a laughing stock.  They kept on looking at us and they kept on laughing at us.  That actually showed that whatever they did, they did to animals.  Now how do you forgive a person who regards you as an animal?   They did not even hide it that they regarded us as animals.
