Thank you Mr Makhawula.  I apologise for disturbing you at the time you were giving your testimony,
CRADOCK HEARING TRC/EASTERN CAPE
16
but I wanted to ask you to refer to that man as an Indian man because we have to avoid to use an unacceptable language in our hearings according to the new laws.
 You have given us a long story, but you have given us a picture that would make us to respect the Cradock community.  The differences between the leaders of our people is a very painful thing to us.  It discourages any progress and any nation building.
 The differences between our communities, they lead to conflict amongst ourselves.  That is why when we were still fighting, we used to raise our arms and say Amandla Power.  We are trying to be united.
 You have given us a picture of the Cradock community and you have shown us that in such times, this community tried to be united.  Maybe that is why Cradock is an example to many places.  We have seen that in your statement there are things that need to be rectified.
 There are things that need to be said so that we can be united, especially us as leaders.  If there is something we can do as we are here as the Commissioners, to forward the step, we will happily do that because even now we believe that even if we are liberated now and we are represented in Parliament, we still have to fight for the nation building and this needs our leaders to be united.
 Your testimony was painful and long, but we thank you for letting us to focus on reconciliation in our own communities.
