MR WILLIAMS
Mr Chairperson, I just want to deal with just two issues.
	The first one is that the Committee must find that the act, omission or offence that was committed, was an act associated with a political objective and in order for the Committee to find that there was a political objective, the Committee must be able to find clearly what that political objective was.  Now it is my respectful submission that it is not clear from the testimony of the applicant here today, what his political objective was at the time because in this regard, he tendered vastly contradictory evidence here and it is my respectful submission that the Committee can't rely on that evidence because it would in any case be difficult for the Committee to accept which version is the correct version because on the one hand he says he tried to assist the freedom fighters and on the other hand he says that he was combating terrorism.  It is clear that these contradictions differ as day differs from night.
	There are also other contradictions in his testimony.  I'm not going to still bother to pick out all the contradictions, save to say that in the one instance he said that he had an intention of shooting and then later on he says that he had no intention whatsoever of shooting Mr Bongani and he actually wanted to alert him, he actually wanted to help the person, so it's my respectful submission that there's not a clear coherent application here before this application, which would enable this Committee to find that what the applicant's saying here is in fact correct and I'll submit that amnesty cannot be granted on the basis of that.  That's my submissions Mr Chairperson.
