CHAIRPERSON
To all the people from Gauteng who were injured in the same kind of incident as you were we are deeply sorry, we are so sorry that so many atrocities were committed in our country on both sides of the struggle, and we really hope and trust that this Commission can make some contribution to the reconciliation of our people, to the healing of our nation.  We really hope that you will be able to put this experience behind you and that God will help you to heal these wounds.
 Now that we have a new government in this country we hope that all of us will try to forget the past and put it behind us.  Now that it is possible to come and give testimony in front of the Commission and we hope that perhaps somebody in authority will be able to express his regret for this kind of incident in which you were injured.   On behalf of this Commission I would like to repeat once again that we are deeply sorry that so many innocent victims were injured and we hope that God will bless you.  Thank you very much.
