CHAIRPERSON
May I add my own words of welcome to all of you, but especially to those who will be testifying and to their families and friends, who have come to support them.  We also want to say thank you to the people who are upholding the Trust and Reconciliation Commission in their prayers and those who are continuing to pray for this set of hearings in this province.  I now declare this session open and hand over to Dr Boraine.
