MR PANDAY
Well Mr Chairperson, I concede the point that that still remains political.  The action stems from a political objective and continued.  Now the applicant seems to now distance himself from the political objective.  He mentions that he did not have the intention to kill the person and thereafter goes on to say it was self-defence.  He merely had to stick to his version that the killing of the victim was as a result of the original act that was political?
