GRAHAM SIMPSON
I must emphasise that the report was prepared only once Mr Kondile had been convicted of the murder of Mr Shandu and the attempted murder of Solomon Ngcobo.  So it was in that context that the report was prepared.  It was based on an acknowledgement of the Court's finding in that matter.
	The report was an attempt to build up some of the background in what was in my view a very dramatic context to this particular incident, both drawing on my experience in work in violence in industrial conflict but particularly in relation to the political conflict as it was playing itself out on the East Rand during that period.
	By way of methodology, I drew on a number of documents that had been prepared for the trial, in particular I drew on an affidavit by Mr Barry who was then representing Cheadle Thompson and Haysom in which a number of the incidents which I refer to my report were documented and the case numbers that I cite were drawn from that.
	I then went on to interview the chief shop steward at Langeberg Foods at the time.  I sought out a number of the South African Police Service personnel who were involved in the investigations but as I indicate in my report it was impossible to get hold of any of those who were directly involved.  And I interviewed the Chief Human Resources Manager at Langeberg Foods in relation to the conflict as well and he also provided me with extensive correspondence which had been in the hands of management during that period.
