MR MHLABA
Thank you Mr Chairman, my address will be a very short one.
	Mr Chairman, I submit on behalf of the applicant that amnesty should be granted as the applicant has complied with the provisions of the Act.
	I want to firstly deal with his application form.  The application form Mr Chairman, as subsequently amended, I submit it complies with the requirements of the Act.
	Secondly Mr Chairman, the offence in respect of which this applicant is seeking amnesty, clearly relates to a political motive, clearly relates to a political objective, and it is my submission Mr Chairman, that it became common cause that these offences were committed in the course of the conflicts of the past and it further became common cause that at all relevant times, this applicant was both a member of the African National Congress and a member of Umkhonto we Sizwe.
	It further became common cause that after he returned from exile, the applicant participated in Self Defence Unit establishment with the full approval of the African National Congress.
	Lastly Mr Chairman, I will want to submit that there was no material contradiction in the evidence tendered by the applicant and I also do not find any material contradiction with respect to the evidence tendered by Mr Moloi in opposition of the application and what has been tendered by the applicant.
	It is therefore my respectful submission that there has been a full disclosure and consequently the applicant is entitled to an amnesty and request the Committee to grant same accordingly.
	Thank you Mr Chairman.
