Thank you Mr Chairman.  Mr Chairman, it is my submission that the applicant here has met the requirements for the granting of an amnesty.
	The application form, I submit it is in order.  I further submit that there was full disclosure on the part of the applicant.
	I just want to deal with the aspect of political objective.  Initially it was a little obscure where the political motive was, but it became apparent that in view of the fact that the African National Congress was at war with the IFP in the East Rand then, anybody who was seen to be associated with the IFP, was regarded as frustrating the objectives of the ANC.
	It is on that basis that this applicant committed these offences.  I will further wish to draw the Committee's attention to the fact that I submit, the meaning of the wording of the Act, suggests that the test which needs to be used, it is a subjective one as opposed to an objective one.
	Objectively it may appear that there was no motive, whereas on the part of the applicant here, he believed that this person was an enemy of the ANC, and it may further Mr Chairman, transpire that the victims were not members of the IFP or supporters thereof at all, but in his heart of hearts, he believed that they were supporters and sympathizers of the IFP and therefore a stumbling block to the objectives which the ANC sought to achieve.
	It is on those basis Mr Chairman, that I submit that he has met the requirements of the granting of amnesty and accordingly request that it be granted to him.  Thank you Mr Chairman.
