CHAIRPERSON
Good morning everybody.  Today we were due to hear the amnesty applications of Brian Clifford Thobejane; Thomas Ngobeni and Donald Mukhawana, but unfortunately we have been informed that the notice, as required by the Act, Act no.34 of 1995 to be given to the victims of the incident was never received by them, and on following this up we have learnt that the victim indeed was in fact waiting for the notices in the expectation of attending the hearing, and is not available.  He is apparently out of the country.  So we are compelled, in the circumstances, unfortunately to postpone this hearing.
	On the positive side we do have a fixed date for the postponement next month.  We are not in the situation where we usually are to postpone it to a date to be arranged because we will be coming back here next month.  
	So we will not be able to proceed with the hearing but before we do the postponement I would like, please, to ask the legal representatives to place themselves on record.
