CRAIG MACDONALD
Thank you.
	First of all Mr Chairman, without trying to make a mockery of the proceedings, I find it very ironical that at this hearing, people who murder innocent people in golf clubs and in churches can take an oath before Almighty God.  The very murderers who talk about God and his people in their testimonies, how can we believe them no matter what political motive they imply.
	 I certainly do not believe that the full truth has been disclosed in these applications.  In terms of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, yes I can relate to the need to find the truth.  I don't believe we have heard all the truth.  But in terms of reconciliation, I must differ with my colleagues.  The only people I can reconcile with are other people that have been effected by these atrocities.  The Hani family, the Biko family and many, many others, black or white - it's not a racial issue.  Victims - but I can not reconcile with murderers.  I can identify with Mrs Hani and I can respect her stance regarding amnesty for Janus Walus and Clive Derby-Lewis.  What they did was a preplanned murder and I believe the same applies in this instance.
	I do not aspire to communistic or political ideals of any sort but as individual human beings we all share a tremendous sense of loss of our loved ones.  The process of transition to democracy was irreversible at this point in time when the attacks took place. 
	  Notwithstanding the purpose that the Truth and Reconciliation has served for some individuals and please, I'm not on a hatred and bitter path, I'm expressing my feelings as I feel them, there should be no reconciliation in my books.  Instead we should be having a War Crimes Tribunal if this is to be classified as an act during a war time.  The civilised world demands this of the Germans who committed atrocities against innocent Jews and so should we if we are to be seen as a civilised society.
	This atrocity shook the world let alone an entire community, black and white.  The eyes of the civilised world must again know what action this so-called democratic land of ours will take against cold blooded murderers who hide behind political motives.
	I believe that this Commission will be failing in it's duty if amnesty is granted because they may divulge the truth but they have not reconciled victims with perpetrators but rather victims with victims irrespective of their race or political affiliation.  That is all I have to say thank you.
