MR MGXAJI
That would be my submission that it should fail on both counts.   My Lord, I would - one does know that there could be various interpretations of what is meant by a political objective, but one does know the South African political scenario, the forces of change and the forces against change and therefore one does know a political objective would be the one that seeks to advance the interest of change, and the political parties involved in that scheme of arrangements, are also known.  The political leadership and the organisation, both in the ANC, the PAC and AZAPO, (indistinct) may name them, all in the left, certainly they decry any political acts by anyone of their members directed to a member of another political organisation in the order that you shall find in the left of the centre in the South African political scheme of things and my submission therefore is even if we take Mr Mapipa as having been a Robben Islander, a member of the PAC, taking his life does not fit in in the political objectives any individual involved in the political struggle may seek to achieve.  Eliminating Mapipa would not advance any political interest in effecting change in this country.  It is something that is decried by all these political organisations I have enumerated and my submission  therefore is indeed, there could not have been any political basis, motive, nor reason why Mr Mapipa was murdered cold-bloodedly in the manner in which he was and therefore the application should be turned down.  That is all Mr Chairperson.
