I would like to give thanks for the opportunity granted to me as well as the Chair and the Committee.  Before I get to this issue, I would like to say a few words to the members of the family who lost their beloved because of the incident I was involved in.  I would like to apologise for what happened during the conflicts in Pietermaritzburg.  I pass my sincerest apologies even though that may not help them because they have already lost their loved ones.	I would like the Committee to help me in conveying my apologies to them.
	I first got involved in politics in 1987 when I resided at Pietermaritzburg at Mpumuza area.  That is where I joined the IFP.  We would attend meetings in the area.
