MRS KLUKAS
This is from my son, Kenneth Klukas
"I hereby state that I do not support the applicants' request for amnesty for the brutal murder of Mr Clive Klukas, my father, in the Ellis Park bombing blast.  I'm appealing to the TRC for such a request not to be granted.  I cannot begin to understand why any person could take the life of a man they did not know and call it a political motivated act.  A fight for freedom should not entail sacrificing the freedom of others such as my father's and my family's and the families which were effected by his death.  
	Clive my father was a kind and supportive and generous man.  He touched many people in different ways, giving part of himself to everyone.  My dad taught us the value of life and to respect every person.  He was a true family man and believed that his family always came first.  My father spent every opportunity with his family, doing the things which he wanted to do.  He built relationships with all people regardless of their colour, creed or beliefs.  My father was a true christian and someone I was very proud to have as a father.  He was a friend, I loved him dearly, I will always miss him.  People talk about pain and suffering, however, the pain we experienced when someone we loved so much was ripped from us in such a cold and brutal manner as my dad was, without any explanation why, is unforgivable.  
	It was the time when I was writing my matric, a time when I needed support and encouragement from my father.  I subsequently struggled to further my studies at huge financial burden to myself.  I sincerely hope the TRC can make this distinction between a crime punishable in court of law and a political motivated crime.  There mere fact that the bomb was placed in the proximity of a school bus, this proves this and not could have been gained politically by aiming to murder innocent school children.  What part did they part in the political environment of the time.  It is very sad for South Africa when we accept acts of senseless murders such as this as normal and forgivable.
	Furthermore, how can applicants hold any position of authority in our Government whether they are expected to uphold justice, prevent violence when they themselves have committed such acts?  How can we as citizens trust them to make moral sound decisions which will impact on our everyday lives and our future when they have proven that they are incapable of living a just and moral life?  As a South African citizen I'm asked to support this authority yet they are directly responsible for the inconceivable loss and an unrecoverable loss I suffer every day of my life.
	Lastly I would like to say that I do not forgive or will not forget the applicants' crime and that they will have to be answerable to God eventually."
