CHAIRPERSON
Thank you.  There are a few issues I want to raise.  We have come to the end of the hearing and I wish to thank all those who have made the arrangements for this hearing to be held.  In particular to the interpreters who do a thankless job.  I also wish to thank the members of the Correctional Services and the South African Police Services for their co-operation and to ensure, as they promised, that the hearings start on time.  Members of the public who showed interest in this hearing and to the representatives who came to our assistance during this hearing.  I want to thank the press for covering this matter.  I also wish to point out that it is unfortunate that one possible witness that this panel may have wanted to call to give evidence was consulted yesterday and a report on what was discussed appeared in this morning's newspaper.  It is to be hoped that in future the media in general would refrain from interviewing any party or interested party in a hearing until after the hearing, it does in fact compromise our position.
	I want to say to the victims that unfortunately this country has been plagued with atrocities for many, many years.  Many people have died during the course of that period and this country has been split down the middle in racial lines.  I am aware of those effects.  In different quarters, the activities of different political organisations were criticised on one hand and supported on the other.  I cannot begin to imagine the pain and trauma that you must have endured and perhaps still enduring.  I cannot request that you forgive and forget what you've had to experience.  In particular the youngsters in this particular case who had to endure that type of trauma.  It is to be hoped that the pain and trauma would diminish through the passage of time and it is to be further hoped that our people, subjects of this country, are to be allowed and are able to proceed with their lives as they should have been able to do without apartheid.  This matter is adjourned and we'll adjourn till tomorrow morning.  We will make our decision as soon as is possible.
