CHAIRPERSON
Ma'am, I just want to ask a few questions as well. But I think, as the Chairperson, I would be failing in my duty if I didn't actually explain a little about what our task is.  I think we must understand that the Human Rights
KLERKSDORP HEARING TRC/GAUTENG
18 M R KOKI
Violations Committee to which you are now telling your story, has a brief.  The brief goes from 1960 to December 1993.  I think it is very important for people to know that.  The brief also is to look at human rights violations, in terms of killings, abductions, torture or severe ill-treatment.  I want to actually try and pose my questions within that context to clarify what has happened to you.
 Mr Manthata has already said that you are a very angry lady and I hope that we will be able to deal with this anger afterwards.  But there are real things that have happened to you and we want to understand those things.  If you please don't take offence at what I am saying, because I want us to understand what actually happened to you.  
 I want to go back to the first incident in 1990 when you were helping people put up a home.  In that incident when Capt Van der Venter assaulted you, were there other people who were assaulted as well, or were you assaulted only because you were a prominent member of the ANC Women's League at that time?
