There's one thing I would like to clarify concerning this operation.  I'm sure everybody knows the way we were oppressed as a nation, more especially the Africans.  There are many things that took place, more especially the Africans at large, things that were ...(indistinct) by the Government of the day.  If people can remember there were even laws that were passed where the Africans would be placed in the reserved areas, the remote areas.  With the aim of surplus labour for the farmers and the other industries that were in there.  And another purpose was to make sure that they subsidise the wages of the migrant workers.  In order for them to control the influx of the Africans, as they made the Africans strangers in their own land, they were saying that the Africans cannot stay in this land because the land was too hot and they cannot go the Heaven, because Heaven is too far also.  The industrial areas called BIC or RIC were established, Border Industrial Corporations or Reserved Industrial Corporations.  There was a law that was passed that a white man will always be a manager and a black man will work under him, but when you look at this thing, this person was actually managing the oppression of the Africans, because the Africans, the aim was to keep the Africans away.  We were doing those operations, my political understanding is that we were doing those operations due to those reasons, those factors.  Concerning the families of the deceased, it would be painful if they are not here today.  I sympathise with them because of such actions, because when a person dies, it's quite a big thing, and we know that it's very easy to destroy a life of a person.  It's very difficult to bring the life of a person back.  I would request the gentleman to pass that message to the families, the mother and the children and the relatives.  I shall end there.
