MR WESSELS
Yes, that is the onus that is on the State, but if you take the other side of the coin, what an accused in a criminal case must do is only convince a Court that is version is reasonably possibly true.  So if you apply the probably true version here, then you're placing a onus on an applicant which he doesn't even have in a criminal trial.  And that in my submission, is clearly contrary to the intention of the legislature, the intention was not to make it more difficult for a person to get amnesty than for an accused to be found guilty in a court of law.
