PROF MEIRING
Just before we start.  It was in the early hours of October 25 1988 that the university town of Potchefstroom was rocked by an explosion.  A bomb went off in Church Street in the Eland Building.  No persons died, nobody was injured, but Mr Michael Meyer was there in his office across the street and he did suffer some damage as a result of the explosion.
 Mr Meyer has come to the TRC not only to talk about his loss, his financial loss, but to raise the vexing question who was behind this bombing.  It was during the 1980's at the time of emergency regulations of special powers and many confusing events took place.  And with that background Mr Meyer I would like to invite you to share that which you have already given to us in statement form.
