ADV PRIOR
... 25th of March 1999.  The amnesty application of P M Dolo proceeds.  The other applicant, Mr Makuala has become deceased.  He died since the last hearing.  He died I understand whilst in prison.
	Mr Chairman, as you will recall there was an allegation made by the Tsemane family regarding the motive behind the killings in this particular matter, as a result of which the Committee requested the matter to be investigated, which is was.  A report was filed by the Evidence Leader regarding the investigations, and I wish to call today a Mr Charles Mather, a businessman from the Sterkspruit area, who will be in a better position to describe to the Committee the conditions and the perceptions of the community as they existed at that time.
	As a result of possible prejudice to interested persons, notices were sent to inter alia, Mr J H Hatting in terms of Section 19 of our Act, as a possible implicated person.  It was made clear to Mr Hatting's attorney who is present today, Mr N Naude, that Mr Hatting was not directly implicated in any evidence arising from these applications, but that the possibility may exist that by implication his client's rights may be affected.  And for that reason the Amnesty Committee or the Amnesty Department felt obliged to serve him the necessary notice.
	In addition hereto, a Section 19 notice was also served on Mr Buyafuti, a businessman from Sterkspruit.  I understand from Mr Mbandazayo who says that he acts from time to time on behalf of Mr Buyafuti, that he isn't here.  Is that correct, he's not here today?
