CHAIRPERSON
Thank you Ma'am.  Thank you Ma'am, and we thank the interpreter as well for assisting us.  This is a sad story, Mrs Koadi.
 And we do listen to such stories as we are going around, stories of children who were fighting but the parents of these children are left alone and they are not aware or they do not know what happened to their children.
 What is the most painful thing is that those who were Commanders of Umkonto We Sizwe, we would like them to report to the parents of the children who fell down, but unfortunately we get reports that there are parents who have no knowledge about or the whereabouts of their children, they do not know what happened to their children.
 The story of your husband, Allan, falls under this category.  You don't know whether to believe that he was killed in Empangeni because there was no direct report to you.
 We as the Commission, we will try to help people with regard to this matter.  Your request is that if your husband died, you want his remains to be brought back to you so that they can be reburied and I think we will look at this matter.
 And I would like to say that this is a very hard request, because there are many people who come in front of this Commission asking or requesting that they would be given the remains of their family members, so that they can be reburied.
 As the Commission, we are trying to do this.  In Durban we saw that bones were dug and they were going to be given to the parents of these children so that they can be reburied in a dignified manner.
 Our answer is that we will try but the truth is that there are thousands of cases such as this one, and some of them Mrs Koadi, will not be solved.  But I want to say that
we promise that those cases in which we can be able to help, we will do that and we will rely to perpetrators and to tell the world that we did this to this person and to show us where they buried these people, so that we can go there and take the remains to the family, so that they can be reburied.
 We would like to thank you for your statement and we thank you for coming here to the Commission to tell us the story about your husband.
 You showed us that you are a strong person.  You have strength although this tragedy happened to you.  We will try as a Commission to do whatever we can.  Thank you very much.
