DR BORAINE
Thank you very much, please be seated.   Now I'm going to ask if you'll please put that light off on that - fine and only put it on when the person is speaking, it helps with the communication.  
You are the very first witnesses and I'm quite sure that you are nerves.  If you were not nerves you should be nerves.  You have a story to tell it  happened a very long time ago,  it will bring back many memories and you will  feel a great deal of pain.  Because those memories are very sad ones and one which caused you great misery a long time ago and you will be looking again to what happened.  
 And I want you to feel very relaxed - you are amongst friends.  For the first time perhaps in your life you have an opportunity to talk to an official Commission appointed by the President of the country and to tell us - to tell this audience and to tell South Africa and indeed the world what happened and what is in your hearts.
I'm going to ask you to be quite brief but at the same time it is your story and we want you to tell it in your own way.  From time to time we'll be asking different Commissioners to assist in the telling of those stories but nothing more than that.  On this occasion I will be doing that on your behalf.  And first I'm going to call Sylvia Mabija and I would like you to tell us perhaps something about the Mabija family and then tell us what happened on that day on the 7th of June in 1977 concerning your brother.
