MR LEWIN
Thank you very much Father and welcome to everybody.  I see something is going to happen to our Chairperson at the weekend.  I do not know what we call him after that, but at the moment he is the Chairperson of the Commission.  We are very, very pleased that he has been able to join us today.  Alexandra, as we have seen over the last two days, already, has obviously been a very important place for all of us.  We are very pleased to see that some of the witnesses from the last two days have also been able to come and join us today.  We welcome them.
 I would just like to explain the procedures that there are earphones translation system available for everyone who needs them, collect them at the door.  The three channels that are available, number two is English, number three is Zulu and four will be Xhosa and any other African language that the witnesses might be speaking through.  If you need assistance, please ask.  There are people who can assist.  
 I should also like to stress that the most important people here today, as in all our hearings, are the witnesses, the victims who come to tell their stories.  We have to insist that this is their day, that the platform is theirs.  They are the most important people and I would ask everyone please to respect that and to give the people the chance to let themselves be heard and to tell their stories in their own time.  Please to respect that.  Without any further ado we will start with the first witness, Louisa Rivers.  If she could please come forward.  Thank you.  Morning Mrs Rivers.
