MR BOOYENS
Thank you Mr Chairman.  Mr Chairman, we have been instructed by the South African Defence Force that they, in this matter, the training of certain people in the Caprivi by the Defence Force, would be in issue.  It is not disputed by the Defence Force that those people were trained in fact, although it is disputed that it was with a malicious intent.
	The notification was sent by fax to the South African National Defence Force (indistinct), and they have informed us that although Brigadier Van Niekerk, Colonel Swart and Colonel Breytenbach are mentioned in the papers, that they were unable to trace those people, and accordingly they have not received notice.
	Furthermore they wish to place on record that the documents were only received by the Defence Force on the 2nd of April 1998 and in the available time, they couldn't trace the persons mentioned.  However, our instructions are just to place this on record, and not at this stage to ask for an adjournment or anything, but just to reserve the rights if necessary.
	Then there is also mentioned by the South African Defence Force that one Cloete and one J.P. Opperman who testified  in what is now commonly known as the Magnus Malan trial, were also erstwhile members of the Defence Force, were also implicated in this matter, and these two persons we know as a fact, did not receive indemnity against prosecution, but  they haven't been notified by the Defence Force either.
	It is apparent that they are also mentioned.  So those are the facts which I have been asked to place on record, Mr Chairman, on behalf of the Defence Force.
