MR BERGER
Chairperson, I have two points in answer.  The first is that it is our contention that Mr Nana Tshabangu and others including in particular Mr Victor Geswa, were part of a gang who were terrorising the community of Boipatong.
	It was for those reasons and in particular the death of Lita Zwane that this applicant was forced out of Boipatong.  It goes to the question of whether this was political or whether this was criminal.
	The second point Chairperson, is that these are issues which are very close to the heart of many, many members of the community.  In my consultations with the community, dealing with Nana Tshabangu, these are issues which have repeatedly come up.  I understand that one of the purposes of these amnesty hearings, is reconciliation.
	If I can't canvass these issues with this applicant, the members of the community are going to feel that the issues which are important to them, are being bottled up.  That is the reason that I am pursuing this line.
