CHAIRPERSON
This is an application for amnesty of Mr Mondli Wiseman Ngxongo, and that is spelt N G X O N G O.  The panel consists of the following members:  on my right-hand side, Advocate Francis Bosman, on my left-hand side, Mr Ilan Lax, and I'm Judge Sisi Khampepe, who is chairing this hearing.
	This application for amnesty is connected with the application of Mr Romeo Mbambo, who has already appeared before this committee in respect of various incidents for which he applied for amnesty in the hearings that have become known as the Caprivi hearings. 	The hearings in respect of the Caprivi hearings were held at various places across the length and the breadth of our country.   
	The first hearing was held in Richards Bay, wherein incidents relating to that particular region were dealt with.   
	The second hearing was in Pietermaritzburg, which dealt with the incidents affecting that particular area.   	
	The third hearing was in Ermelo, and the matter of Mr Japie Thalede was heard in Ermelo, but it was only in respect of the applicant, Mr Mbambo.   
	So, in respect of Mr Mbambo's application for the killing of Mr Thalede, he has already given testimony.  In his testimony and in his application, he alleged that Mr Ngxongo was present when he shot Mr Thalede.   We are today to hear the evidence of Mr Ngxongo in support of his own application for amnesty for the killing of Mr Thalede.
	Will the legal representatives of the parties involved in this hearing kindly place their names on the record?
