PROF DE KOKER
Thank you very much for the opportunity.  Firstly, if the Committee members glance at the documentation which was put before them, they will notice that no reference whatsoever is made to the peace process, to the National Peace Accord, to the agreements which were reached, to the detailed negotiations with the leadership of all organisations involved in this particular march.  That is clearly highly relevant for this Committee to decide whether in terms of section 2(3) of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act, what the context of this specific Act was, and also, as to whether the act was committed with the approval of any of the organisations involved, and also in respect of at least (f), the relationship between the Act and the true objectives pursued.
	He will also place in dispute whether the applicants committed the act with any political motive whatsoever. That is on the basis of the evidence which we disclosed and I am glad that you again placed it in context, that our consultation was extremely hurried, given the circumstances.
