CHAIRPERSON
Today we will be commencing with the hearing involving the death of Nthombi Khubeka.  I apologise for the late start.  Before we start I'd just like to briefly introduce the Panel to you. On my right is Adv Francis Bosman.  She is a member of the Amnesty Committee and comes from the Cape.  On my left is Mr Ilan Lax, he is also a member of the Amnesty Committee and he is an attorney from Pietermaritzburg and I am Selwyn Miller, I am a Judge of the High Court, also a member of the Amnesty Committee and I am attached to the Transkei Division of the High Court.  The proceedings will be simultaneously translated to Afrikaans and Zulu and English.  If you wish to benefit from the translation, you have to be in possession of one of these devices.  They are available from the sound technician, so if you want to benefit from the translation, please get one of these sets of ear phones from the sound technician.
	I would, at this stage, request the legal representatives to kindly place themselves on record.
