CHAIRPERSON
The applicant in this matter has completed his testimony, and in the course of questioning by Adv Steenkamp, the Leader of Evidence of the Committee, the issue concerning a number of firearms which are referred to in the affidavit, submitted in support of the application, arose and more particularly the question whether or not the amnesty application before us,  includes the possession of those arms.
	Mr Shayi, who appears for the applicant has applied for the amendment of the amnesty application to include the possession of the particular arms which are referred to on pages 13 and 15 of the record before us, amongst other things a number of AK47 assault rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers.
	Mr Shayi makes a submission that no prejudice can be suffered by anyone in the event of the application being granted.  There are no apparent interested parties or victims in respect of this particular aspect of the matter.
	Adv Steenkamp has indicated that he does not oppose the application, and it is quite clear that the applicant's possession of these arms have been fully canvassed in the course of the testimony that was given in the matter.  We are therefore satisfied in the circumstances, that the applicant has made out a proper case for the amendment of the application, to include the possession of the arms referred to on pages 13 and 15 of the record.
	We can just add that it has been drawn to our attention that the applicant was not legally assisted when he completed the application form and therefore the form obviously is not as detailed as one would have expected it to be in the event of the applicant having been assisted by legal representation.
	In any event, there is reference in the application form itself to the fact that the applicant has been engaged in activities of a Self Defence Unit, and it appears that the possession of these arms relate to those activities.
	So, in our view the details relating to the possession, has been foreshadowed in the application form itself and that a sufficient basis has been laid in the original application for the particulars which are contained in the affidavit.
	Accordingly the application is granted and the amnesty application is amended to include possession, unlawful possession of the arms and ammunition in question.
