COMMISSIONER
Mrs Khawunda, thank you very much for telling us your story.  We could see how difficult it was for you, and we can see that you are carrying a heavy burden.  Not only are you raising your daughter's children, but you have to raise them with the memory that their father was murdered in tragic circumstances, and this will be difficult for them to accept and understand.  Also you have the problem of your daughter, and it is quite clear that she has been very badly affected by this incident.  Most of the stories that we have heard, that you have heard today, took place many - not many years ago, but several years ago in the eighties.  This one took place only six or seven months before our first free elections in this country, in late 1993, and it reminds us that we still have to be very vigilant about the terrible political intolerance that affects our province because these things are still continuing in parts of this province.
As you know, and as you have heard me say today, we don't have the power to make recommendations - we don't have the power to assist you directly, financially or otherwise, but our job is to make recommendations to the Government, and we will be making recommendations to the Government on your behalf and on behalf of the children that you are raising, because it seems clear that your son-in-law was killed as a result of political intolerance and political violence.  
So thank you for coming and speaking on behalf of those small children today, and we hope that your daughter will be able to come and talk to us as well.  Thank you very much.
