...Commission, presiding Commissioners and committee members present.  I report that the Gauteng office of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission received the following applications for hearing for today.
 I would like to welcome Mrs Moleseng Tiro who will be talking about her son Abraham Tiro.
 Sarah Mthembu and Maria Mthembu who will be talking respectively about the son Jerry Mthembu.  
 Lorraine Lenkoe will be talking about his father, James Lenkoe.
 Ben Kgoathe will be talking about his father Nicodimus Kgoathe.  
 James Simpson is coming for himself.  
 We also have Gerald Thebe.  Paul Kongwane.  Madrina Jocazi, George Dube and Johan Smith. 
 We have scrutinised the applications and we believe that they qualify to be placed before you today.
 Can I just before I hand over to you if people can just remain standing, if we can just have a moment's silence for the people who are coming to tell their stories and for the people who died.
 Thank you.
