CHAIRPERSON
Dr Naik, thank you again for coming today.  Again, you grappled deeply before you decided to come.  I am glad that you did come. I hope that you actually gained some benefit from coming today too.
 We have listened very closely, particularly to your point about the question of being labelled as a spy and the disinformation that went with that.  Although it hasn't featured very largely in many of the stories that have been told to us during this eight months, I hope it will be part of our report and recommendations will come relating to that.  That area can be so dangerous and we know, for example, and we have read about what has happened in East Germany, where it wasn't only to do with perceptions, but children spied on their parents, husbands spied on their wives.  In all that, all those reports were kept. Now in South Africa of course it is not that easy. 
 We have also, I mean, we have also heard of stories

 where people were accused of being spies in the camps outside the country and what happened in those situations. So it is an area that we need to look at very closely.
 I also want to make the point, and you yourself said that you were politically conscious but not a political activist. Mrs Desai has also made that point. There are so many other people who have made that point throughout the last eight months. But nonetheless, people got caught up in that difficult period and that period of turmoil in our history.  We are glad that you stayed and you come today to talk about your involvement. We thank you again for coming.
