MR BRINK
Very briefly Mr Chairman, I think one must accept that at the time there was an enormous amount of political upheaval and an enormous amount of conflict with houses being burnt down and vengeance burning downs and killings and vengeance killings and again vengeance killings, it just went on interminably so I think one can accept that the Applicant had a vague political motive, whether it gets over the questions of revenge is another matter which does concern me but in general I do think that having regard to what was going on in the townships at the time, having regard to the appalling loss of life and the appalling damage to property that the IFP would go on a rampage against the UDF and visa versa. This was just going on in this Province particularly.
	Those are really the only submissions I can make, you've heard the evidence so I think that the Applicant, although somewhat longwinded going into detail, one can understand his situation.  He's not a very sophisticated person and I got the impression that I think he was doing his best to tell the truth and of course as you know, the mere fact that he shows remorse is not a criteria for the purpose of amnesty but nonetheless, it's very healthy in the spirit of reconciliation to see the next of kin and the Applicant endeavouring to reconcile.
