CARL CASTELING BOTHA
Sir first of all because I was given the opportunity to become part of the reconciliation process and by nature of the situation there is a lot of things that I do not feel very good about but that I justify within my position within a State organisation.   I am here first of all because I want to make use of this opportunity and secondly, because I want to show that I have got regret and I would like to continue with my life.  It is a period of 11 years since this incident took place and in the meantime my personal life went downhill.  My connection to the CCB was not very good for my business.  I suffered a lot of financial losses because of my involvement in the CCB.  So in short Sir, I would like to take part in a reconciliation process.  I believe in the new State dispensation and I would like to declare myself willing to take part in this process.
