CHAIRPERSON
This Committee is now in a position to give its decision in respect of the application of Mr Vusi  Sidney Mononi.
	This is an application in terms of Section 18 of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act, 34 of 1995.  Mr Mononi applies for amnesty in respect of the following convictions:  the murder of Mr Mofumani Bernard Mathonsi, the attempted robbery of Mr Mathonsi's firearm, contravention of Section 2,36 and 32(1)(b) read with Sections 1, 39 and 40 of the Act.
	He further applies for amnesty in respect of the robbery of a firearm from Mr Mathonsi.  All these offences were committed on 11 August 1993 at or near Diepkloof in the district of Johannesburg.
	The applicant alleges that he and four other members of his SDU, were patrolling in the vicinity of Mandela Squatter Camp when they saw two uniformed policemen.  Their Commander, one Winki ordered that they should approach the policemen in order to disarm them, and take their firearms.
	It is common cause that the applicant was a member of the SDU and that the SDU's engaged in such activities in order to arm themselves with a view to defending their communities during the political conflict of the time.
	We are therefore satisfied that the applicant complies with the requirements of Section 20(1) of the Act with regard to his convictions.
	However, with regard to the act of robbery of Mr Mathonsi's firearm, we are not satisfied that this firearm was in fact removed from Mr Mathonsi by the applicant or his comrades at all, and accordingly refuse amnesty for this act.
	The Amnesty Committee is of the opinion that the relatives and dependants of the deceased, Mr Mofumani Bernard Mathonsi as well as the victim, Mr Nkuna, are victims as defined in the Act and are accordingly referred to the Committee on Reparation and Rehabilitation for consideration as such in terms of Section 26 of our Act.
	That is the decision Mr Leopeng.  AMNESTY IS THEREFORE GRANTED IN RESPECT OF THE FOLLOWING offences:  the murder of Mr Mofumani Bernard Mathonsi, the attempted robbery of a firearm belonging to Mr Mathonsi and in respect of contraventions of Section 2,36 and 32(1)(b) read with Section 1, 39 and 40 of the Explosives Act.  Thank you.
