MR DLAMINI
14B/21 legal profession's watchdogs of apartheid?  These societies and councils, with senior lawyers, moved the Supreme Court and the judges to strike off political activists who were convicted of apartheid crimes.  Many lawyers were barred from earning a living or were forced into exile.  The late Braam Fischer, Ntobeka Maquabela, Kader Hassim, the late Mr M D Naidoo and Roley Aronstein, who died just about a week ago, are a few of the cases that come to mind.  Mr Aronstein, in particular, after being struck off the roll, was even barred from working as an ordinary legal clerk in the offices, I recall, of Mr Ravi Bagwandeen, and this is how far the evils of apartheid extended.  There were also minor people, like the registrars of the Supreme Court, who worked with these judges, but then I must touch on also another category, and these are defence lawyers, and in that field I would count myself amongst them, who in the name of justice and morality, subverted the truth wherever possible to minimise the consequences of the morally correct struggle of the Kaders and the liberation movements.  There are other categories, but they are probably too many to mention and I won't go on any more.  I think the question that arises out of all this is what legacy have we inherited?  I see it as a rotten legal order with morally-crippled participants - a future legal order that is riddled with villains of apartheid, which is being allowed to go, save for a few exceptions, unchecked, unchallenged and with impunity into the future to uphold truth and justice and the sanctity of the State in this new democracy.  Without a form of redemption - I would use this word not as a person with any theological training,
