We would request that those people who have a problem following the language, do get the earphones handed over to them so that we are ready to start.  Let us just check how many people are needing earphones.  Only one person there?  Okay, let's say that those who are needing earphones, should talk to, where is the Logistics Officer, to that lady at the door there - those who are needing earphones.
 The procedure that we are going to follow, will be in Xhoza.  I was just telling those people who do not understand Xhoza, what to do.  We welcome you in this hearing of the Truth Commission, here in Cradock.  We thank you for your presence in this hearing and we thank you for accompanying the people who will be testifying in front of the Commission.
 We are now going to start - the time is quarter past nine.  Usually, before the proceedings, we usually stand up to give respect to the people who will be testifying, therefor I request you to stand up.
 We are going to ask Reverend Vena to lead us in prayer.  THE COMMISSION COMMENCES WITH PRAYERS.
