Yes Chairperson. Chairperson, I wouldn't like to bore you with the requirements of the Act, goingthrough the requirements of the Act, suffice to say that it is my submissionon behalf of the applicants that they have met the requirements of Section 20(1)and (2), that they were quite clearly acting on behalf of APLA, a publicly knownpolitical organisation and a liberation movement which was engaged in a politicalstruggle against the State at that time.
        I also submitthat the applicants did not act for personal gain or out of personal malice,ill-will or spite against the deceased and the victims.  It is quite clear thatthey had no personal knowledge except to know that the farm belonged to him,and that they had merely gone there on behalf of the organisation.  Chairperson,I would deal with the evidence briefly of the first applicant.  The first applicantput it clearly that the Commander and the second applicant, Donald, made reconnaissanceand they came with the information that the place is frequented by right right-wingersbecause they went there to do reconnaissance for their attack.  More above thefact that they were also the farmers in terms of the APLA and PAC policies,they were the targets, but they had this additional information that also itis frequented by right right-wingers.   It is clear that, it is not becausethey went to attack there because it was frequented by right right-wingers,they went to attack because it was within their policy to attack farmers.
