DR RANDERA
Mr Molapisi, thank you for coming. I know that you were reluctant to come to today, for different reasons. I hope that coming has helped and that you found that telling your story hasn't been so frightening after all.  We also note in your statement, particularly, that you stated that you feel ashamed of yourself because of the stroke, and also how the stroke has "murdered", to quote you, happiness in your life.  There is no doubt that the - and we have taken about 7 000 statements in the country so far, and most of these, the people who are coming forward, are young people like yourself. You have been the casualties of our political turmoil.   We would like to say to you don't feel ashamed of what you did.  It is the contribution of young people like yourselves that has allowed us this opportunity today to have a Truth Commission in this country.  And that those ideas that you expressed to Mr Manthata so clearly
