CHAIRPERSON
We remember Lawrence Mzwanda Mcata, Mzwanele Fazzie, Sicelo Zweliyazuza Fazzie.  May they rest in peace oh Lord.  Thank you.  We welcome everybody present here today, especially the witnesses who are going to testify today.  We know that it is very cold outside, but we thank you for being here.  We would like to ask you, to tell you that this is your day women.  We want you to take your time to tell us your stories and to share with us your pain, but we have a problem we encountered yesterday due to electricity.  We would like you to co-operate with us to try and save time, but do not feel as if you have to, you do not have to tell your whole story.  This is an important day, because Thursday is Womens' Day.  It was set aside for women to go to different churches and we hope that with their prayers we are going to get strength.
 Because of time problems we would like to make a request to thank you afterwards.  We will have a women who is going to tell about the struggle of women, Priscilla, who was a member of Committee of Ten.  After that we will have Dr Smangele Magwaza next to me.  She is from Durban and I would like to introduce her.  She is Dr Smangele Magwaza from the Reparation and Rehabilitation Committee.  She is staying in Durban.  She came here today to assist us on this important day of women.  We thank her.  We will now start with our first witness and Mrs June Crichton will lead the witness.  Nomalungelo Mcata, is she here.  We will now call Mantombi Maria Ben to come forward.
