CHAIRPERSON
Good morning everybody.  We have two matters on our roll today, and I am informed that we will start with the application of Mr M.C. Ngema.
	Before we start, I would just like to briefly introduce the panel.  On my right is Mr Jonas Sibanyoni, a member of the Amnesty Committee and an Attorney from Pretoria.  On my left if Mr Ilan Lax, also a member of the Amnesty Committee and an Attorney from Pietermaritzburg.  I am Selwyn Miller, a Judge from the Transkei Division of the High Court.
	I will ask the legal representatives please to place themselves on record.
