MR SARDIWALLA
Mr Mkhize also confirmed, after a bit of explanation and persuasion, that there was in fact a volatile situation between the ANC and the IFP after the incident. Irrespective of who attacked who on the 26th or around that time, there was a volatile situation that had arisen between both organisations.  So there was clearly political strife in the area and my client clearly, from the evidence that is before this Commission, was a party to the events.
	If one looks at his demeanour generally as a witness, he was subdued, he was not abrasive, he was not rash and he dealt with the evidence, I believe, in a manner that any person who is asked to give evidence about detail would, almost 9 years, 8 years after, 6 years after the incident.
