Mr Chairperson, because of the opportunity and process that was made available to me, also taking into consideration the crime and conflict which arose at that time, I personally am sorry towards the families - sorry about happened.  I was caught up in the middle of the struggle and the conflict of the past against the liberation organisations who wanted to overthrow the apartheid Government and it was on that basis that I was caught up in the middle of this conflict.
	And now the present Government has given me the opportunity to come and tell the truth here and explain what happened and it's on that basis that I am applying for amnesty.
