...[inaudible] must come tell us why they feel they are victims.  Usually that takes a very, very short while because really it is easy to establish whether someone is a victim or not.  Victims include people who were either injured themselves or the nearest relative of those who died.  I want to point out also that where a person has died, not both his mother and father are referred to the Reparations Committee but only one of them.  That's just by way of an example.  The opportunity to testify now is only for such people and the Act is designed for that purpose only and not to accommodate or facilitate political speeches.  I want to warn that I will stop any political speeches and put the witness who may want to do that back onto the track of the Act.  In fact I am duty bound to do that because the Act says so and who is going to come and give evidence - or the decision as to who is going to give evidence are the domain of the representatives.  There is no point in two people coming to give evidence on the same incident and I hope I've made myself clear.  This hearing is not a political gain.   Mrs van der Walt you can call your witness.
