ADV MOJAPELO
Thank you Mr Chairman and Honourable members of the Committee.   Mr Chairman, I do confirm that I appear on behalf of the applicant, Mr Derick Skosana.  During the previous two applications, there were references to the possibility of him being called as a witness.  He has asked me to place on record that he is here today to present his own application, he is not coming in opposition for the application of the previous two applicants, or indeed in support thereof.  He is presenting his own application and his role here is to tell the truth from his own perspective.
	He has asked me to convey that before we start.  And if you are ready to start Mr Chairman, with your permission, may I then call upon Mr Skosana to testify?
