MR SHEMBE
Thank you Mr Chairman. Mr Hlengwa, you are appearing today in front of the Amnesty Committee to ask for an amnesty for the offences you are just serving sentence for and in order for you to be considered for amnesty you must be truthful in all what you're going to say in front of this Honourable Committee today.  I would like you to take us step by step and precisely and concisely as to what actually happened because you are the only person who knows exactly what happened, where it happened, how it happened.  Without you we cannot reach the truth which can lead you to freedom or which can keep you in prison as long as the sentence you were given.  I hope I make myself clear to you.  So starting now, you were convicted for committing six offences so for how many of them are you asking amnesty for?
