CHAIRPERSON
Mr Strachan, welcome.   Just before you take the oath, would you let me just say that we really appreciate the fact that you have been sitting here since 9 o'clock.   I know that you have participated already in the stories that you have been listening to, because you were part of them, and the experiences you had were not dissimilar.   Somebody said it, I think it was Jan Turner, that, "Thank goodness, they missed, that you are at least here alive to tell that story" and I suppose that is true of many many people in South Africa.   We are very glad you are here, and we are going to listen to your story with interest, but as you know I have to ask you to take the oath.
OATH ADMINISTERED AT THIS STAGE
