Madam Chair, I do not want to burden the Committee with the evidence that has been led, may I just state the following?
1)  It is common cause that there was violence between the IFP, that was in Shayamoya and the ANC group, which the applicant belonged to, that lived not too far from the said place.
2)  It is also common cause that the witness, Mr Lucky Ntshetha Sinangwenye was appointed as the leader of the ANC group which the applicant belonged to.
3)  As such, he being the leader, he was faced with the burden of protecting the group, that which the applicant Moses Dlamini was part of.
	Madam Chair, the evidence that has been led by Moses Dlamini in so far as the murder of the victim, in much of its respects, it's in keeping with the evidence that has been led by the witness, Mr Ntshetha.  There have been discrepancies in so far as what may have become of the body after the death of the victim, or what was taken out from the body or whether the witness himself had committed all the acts concerned.  Madam Chair, but my submission is that in so far as these discrepancies have related to the evidence that has been led by the witness and the applicant, it is my submission that these discrepancies do not materially affect the evidence that has been given by the applicant in his evidence-in-chief.
	Now Madam Chair, the question now lies as to whether there was, 
1)   a political motive and
2)   full disclosure by the applicant.
	In addressing the issue on the political motive, I would submit that:
1)   the leader of the group which Moses Dlamini belonged to, was Mr Ntshetha,
2)   as mentioned earlier, it is common cause that there was friction between these two rival parties, namely the IFP and the ANC.  
	Now as such Mr Dlamini being a supporter of the ANC, Madam Chair, I submit that he falls within the ambit of Section 20 of the Act, that's Act 1934, - 1995, in that he supported the ANC and more likely would believe in the cause.
2)   Mr Lucky Ntshetha was appointed as a leader by the community to promote this cause.  We have heard his evidence that he was appointed by the leader, by the group of people that belong, to which Moses Dlamini belonged, and as the leader he would have been responsible for the protection of the people, as well as the protection of their beliefs, namely that the party they supported would have been the ANC and anyone posing a threat to that party, to the group he was a leader of, he would have to protect.
