MS MTANGA
It is my submission to this Committee today that Mr Khumalo committed this offence for
personal gain.  It was in his evidence that he never accounted for the items they robbed from the Odendaal family, he never accounted for these to either Mr Makwara or to any other member of the PAC and he never gave evidence as to what happened to these items and one can only conclude that Mr Khumalo kept whatever they obtained for themselves, that is Khumalo and Tshabalala.  	Secondly I also would like to submit that the failure by Mr Khumalo to answer very basic questions about his political organisation that he had been a member for more than two years at the time he committed this offence, clearly shows that Mr Khumalo has lied about his political affiliation.  He was never a member of the PAC and he committed this offence as a criminal, not as a political person,
	Finally he has not given full disclosure in regard to what was obtained from the Odendaal family.  It's clear from the evidence from Court that money was taken from the family and the applicant here today denies that he knew money was taken, despite evidence showing that money was found in his possession at the time he was arrested.
	That is all I'd like to say, Chairperson.
