CHAIRPERSON
Mr Mabuza, we wish to offer you our condolences with what happened to you.  Thank you for coming to tell us the story.  It is not a pleasant story. It is one which we have heard of several times in the past few days.  It tells of a time which is not very long ago, where anger was obviously playing a big role.  What we will try and do is follow up for you the whole question of your pension and also follow up what we can in terms of the report and why nothing was done about your case.  We cannot offer you comfort, but obviously you draw strength yourself in the fact that you survived this dreadful attack,  and the fact that you do have people around you who can support you and who show and give you strength. We realise that in a community like Alexandra, this is a very important factor in everybody's life.  We salute that and we salute you for your courage and for your determination to keep going.
 Thank you very much for coming.  Thank you.
