One response, Mr Chairman, there is a matter and I know these sort of instances it's always a problem where these attacks that took place on a local situation, that is that there's problems in that area and persons from that area makes a decision to go and retaliate sometimes revenge and the question is usually asked, this is revenge, it's not political.  All these matters, political motive is always intervened, so even in the circumstances where somebody's brother was killed before the time, it was my experience that the mere killing of the other person was not merely revenge, it's still that war situation.
	I went through some of the previous decisions of the Committee and several of them the same situation applied where there was a localised decision where the people after being attacked decided that they're now going to retaliate, that means the group of IFP or ANC people.  There is one specifically, that is the matter of Nsumela whose application 435/96.  What happened there, there was also violence and then there was a meeting.  Maybe not two people, there was a little bit more there at the meeting and there they decided that they must attack to curb the violence and then they attacked and killed somebody and their perception was that they were curbing the violence, stopping the violence.
	Now we must have a look at this applicant's subjective  situation.  His brother is the youth leader, the position in that as we know it, especially in Natal, is that these leaders have a lot of power and they are not questioned.  This is not the normal situation.  Leaders especially in an organisation that is built on the structures and historic structures of the Zulu, it is not easy to question your leaders.  Strong men and strong leaders are usually accepted with open arms and accepted as good leaders.  So I disagree with this questioning of what the brothers should have decided that maybe it wasn't right or it was wrong.   It is accepted, it is normal for these people to accept these sort of decisions if made by a leader, even if it's your brother.  That's all I want to say about that.
