CHAIRPERSON
Good afternoon, we want to start the proceedings.  For the record, it is Monday the 31st of January 2000.  This is hearing of the Amnesty Committee, held at Umtata.  The Panel consists of myself, my name is Denzil Potgieter.  With me is Judge Miller and Mr Sibanyoni.  We would be commencing with the amnesty applications of SM Ntisane and others.  We are told that although we have six applicants on the roll in respect of this particular matter, not all of them are present at this stage.  So we have four of those applicants whose matters we would be proceeding with at this stage.
	Can I just indicate also that we have been delayed in starting the proceedings today because of difficulties that one of the Panel Members has experienced in transport from Johannesburg to Umtata.  So we apologise for any convenience that has resulted from that delay.  I'm going to ask the legal representatives to put themselves on record in respect of the applicants first.
