CHAIRPERSON
Can I please ask people as they come it to be as quiet as possible, as the proceedings have started.  Thank you very much.
 Mr Thlapi, good afternoon to you.  Mr Thlapi, I know that you have waited many years to come and talk about what happened to your son.  You have come today to talk about Ramatha Nicholas Thlapi.  A young man from Ikageng, just outside Potchefstroom where you still reside. 
 Mr Tom Manthata is going to be helping you as you tell your story. Will you please introduce the lady who is with you this afternoon.
