Now, the ballistics show that 10 of those shots came from Mr Khumalo's AK47.  Now, he believed that he actually shot in the direction of the crowd.  We will show that he actually was less in control of his firearm than he thought he was and that has certain consequences in relation to the evidence.  You can imagine how much dust was kicked up and how much noise and panic this may have incurred, without the people actually around Mr Khumalo knowing where the shots that were kicking up that dust were coming from and we give it as an example of the confusion that was created.
	It will also be shown, Mr Chairman, the ballistics will also show that two shots from a pistol were in fact fired into the ceiling in corroboration of Rama's evidence, which was - I beg your pardon, Kruser's evidence, was that he ordered him to fire two warning shots, and the ballistics will show that there were two pistol shots in fact against the under portion of the parapet or the counter-lever slam.  
	Now, for - what it boils down to is that the applicants accept that their belief and recollection what happened may not be fully correct.  They accept that there may have been mis-judgment on their part.  In particular they accept that the shooting by them may have continued for too long and that they would therefor have exceeded the bounds of legitimate self-defence.  That was one of the findings of the inquest record.  Although that finding is not in a way binding on the Amnesty Committee, it has been explained to the applicants that another court, whether it's criminal or civil, may come to the same conclusion.  It is on that basis that they seek amnesty.  
	Each of them has declared that what he did was purely on behalf of the African National Congress, to protect its members and its leaders and ultimately to protect the long cherished dream held by each of them for the truly democratic and non-racial election.
	Mr Chairman, the first witness is going to be the first applicant.
