JEFFERY T BENZIEN
Thank you Chairperson.  Before I start with reading out of my application, I would like to mention the following
	Firstly, I apologise to any person or persons whom I have harmed and I specifically apologise to the families of Ashley Kriel for the death of their son and brother.  Although I deny that I killed him unlawfully and wrongfully, he did however die as a result of an action on my part and for that I apologise.
	Life is precious and judged ex post facto, and based on today's political situation of reconciliation, his death was unnecessary.
	Further I also apologise to the people whom I assaulted during interrogation, namely Peter Jacobs, Ashley Forbes, Anwar Dramat, Tony Yengeni, Gary Kruse, Niclo Pedro and Allan Mamba.
	Director, Gary Kruse contacted me last week and we talked about reconciliation.  In the position which I am sitting here today, the persons whose names I have now mentioned, have come to me and have shaken my hand and wished me all the best and I think Mrs Forbes, I know her as Mina Pandy, I would like to thank her very much for her attitude.  It has strengthened me in this difficult position which I find myself.
