XOLISA MKONWANA
I see today that the mother and the sister of Nomboniso are here.  I knew the mother as Magadebe and the sister as Togiso Priscilla Cakwe and I have known Nomboniso for ten years prior to this unfortunate incidents.  I have been a student with Togiso for quite some time and I think that her mother knew my father very well and what happened in 1986 was very unfortunate.  It was an accident of history from which we could not run away and I regret that it should happen in that way and Nomboniso was a good girl, she was beautiful, I even had a crush for her when we were in the primary school.  	As for Mr Paka he was a very good man, he was a teacher in our area and in that school progress came by when he arrived.  I should think that the academic standards were very low there and when he came to teach there discipline was asserted, well once again reasserted and there was no truancy.  He was a very good man.  It's very unfortunate that I knew him within the political context of the South African history.  I apologise to those families, both families, and I understand that I have come here to the Committee voluntarily, I have applied voluntarily and I also understand that they may never forgive me for what happened although I was not at the execution but I understand that maybe they understand why this should happen, sacrifices were made on both sides.  So I apologise to both families.  Thank you.
