ADV PRIOR
Mr Chairman, in respect of the matter which was being discussed before the adjournment, I've listened to the tape recording and just wish to highlight what Mr Mbandazayo said to the Committee.  He explained Exhibit F, the circumstances under which it was made.  And although he refers to
"It was written and produced to the State for technical reasons"
I think what he meant to say was for tactical purposes, because what he goes on to say, he says:
"It was in that manner that we avoided calling Mr Tjabane as a State witness."
And it seems clear that he was called to the hearing, Tjabane was already under subpoena and then in consultation with the hierarchy of the PAC and their senior counsel, it was decided to produce the letter which he wrote.  Obviously he must have checked it with this witness.  But the impression that is created is that the State was led to believe that Mr Tjabane was not going to be a good witness for the State and in addition thereto he had applied for amnesty.  Although it was very widely couched, it didn't say for what he'd applied for amnesty.  I don't intend at this stage to place anymore detail before this Committee and I leave the matter there.
