I will just read that portion.  If the Committee could just bear with me.  Page 97, line 20, not line 20, and I quote
"The Court finds as an aggravating factor the fact that the deceased was cruelly tortured over a long period. As far as accused 2 and 3 are concerned, aggravating circumstances are that for the entire day they left the deceased without food and water, as well as the fact that they showed no sympathy whatsoever towards the deceased and treated him with contempt."
I want to submit that this was an atrocity perpetrated on a very hapless and innocent person.  I am appealing to Mr Chairman and members of the Committee, that you should refuse to be invited into a quagmire of generalities.  A lot has been said by applicants, a lot of documents or exhibits have been tabled, painting the general political climate.  Now I don't want to be pulled into this unnecessary confusion. The point at issue, the point at issue is whether, and this is what is important, whether what they did on the deceased was politically motivated full stop.  We have to confine ourselves to the issues before us, and avoid all generalities that were tabled through the documents.  Whether this was said by PAC openly on paper or said by ANC and calling for the onslaught or not. We have got to confine ourselves to the issues before us.
	I am asking the Committee to refuse to be pulled into that pool of generalities less confusion abide in our minds.
