CHAIRPERSON
We have listened to the application brought on behalf of Mr Ntuli, we've had reference to the bundle of papers, Exhibit A and to his evidence.  It appears that his application for amnesty arises from an attack on his home on the night of the 26th of August 1992 by a group of armed men.
	There appears to be no doubt that at the time there was constant conflict between different political factions or parties in that area.  Mr Ntuli has told us that he was a member of Cosatu and was seen by members of the IFP as being an ANC supporter.
	He has fairly told us that not only were attacks launched on his house but that he knows of attacks launched on the house of Mrs Ntjale, a Councillor who lived in the same area as him.
	We are satisfied that the attack that took place that night was part of the ongoing conflict between political parties striving for dominance in the area. 
	Mr Ntuli related how during the course of the attack his bodyguard left the house to see what he could do from outside, his two nephews left the house and he was left in the house with Mr Enoch Mzuzu who was suffering badly from the effects of a teargas grenade that had been thrown at them.  He became aware of the fact that there were four other people outside the house who were going to continue the attack on the house.  
	In fearing that they might gain entry and thereafter kill himself and Mr Mzuzu, he made use of a handgrenade that he knew to be in the house, and having enticed the four people to come towards the door of the house he threw the handgrenade or rolled the handgrenade towards them and thereby injured them and caused them to depart.
	He is asking for amnesty in respect of the attempted murder of these four persons and the illicit possession of a handgrenade.   It appears to us that he has complied with all the requirements of the Act, that this was part of the political struggle and can properly be said to be an act with a political objective.
	In those circumstances we GRANT THE APPLICATION IN RESPECT OF THE ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF A HANDGRENADE AND THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF FOUR PERSONS ON THE 26TH OF AUGUST 1992.
