CHAIRPERSON
Mothers and fathers, truly we don't have words, but I am happy that the truth has finally come out. I know that having pain in your hearts, it is then that you get the light of what has happened in that mine. What I can say is, when we say this is the Truth Commission, Truth and Reconciliation Commission, it is the only truth which will help us to be able to talk about reconciliation.
 I want to thank you all when you say you have forgiven Zandile.  Can you imagine how he felt all these years with this pain in his heart. I would ask you all that that forgiveness which you have talked about should not end in this hall, but when you go back to your homes, in the communities, that you should show the very same people who are responsible in this terrible deed,  that it is possible to reconcile and reunite.  
 I thank you.  I know that a parent after seeing a child being blown up in smithereens, to the extent that he or she was not able to recognise him, and only helped by the clothes he was wearing, that all these years you had to suffer that pain.
 We hope you will make it possible in your area, in Kagiso, you will make it possible that Zandile will be accepted by the community. Even those who have doubts will know that today the poor child was not responsible for this terrible deed.  I know that is a good suggestion, but we

will take it to our committee, and then we will see what will happen with your request.  
 We want to thank you all, all who are here, we want to thank you very much.
