CHAIRPERSON
I know that that is one of the angles that is being looked at in the inquest, because it's alleged that these children were killed by the police and that your husband did a post-mortem on the bodies and it is possible that the killers of those children also killed your husband because they believed that he might find clues as to what sort of ammunition had been used to shoot these children.  But I won't comment too much on that, because the inquest is busy taking place at the moment and I know that you are being assisted by one of my ex-colleagues.  Mrs Luthuli, we realise how difficult this must be for you and we thank you for having the courage to come and talk to us today.  Your husband was taken from you in the prime of his life.  He was a young medical doctor.  He was also a graduate in community medicine from the University of Natal.  I think he was the first black person to graduate with a degree in community medicine.  He was a progressive person and he was working for the benefit of his people.  The investigation by the KwaZulu Police into this matter indicates a massive cover-up from high up in the KwaZulu Police, but for those of you who know the KwaZulu Police I suppose that we could not have expected anything else from such a corrupt and useless Police Force, headed by a former security policeman, Major-General Jacques Buchner, and the people who killed your husband chose him because of those values, the fact that he was an educated, clever person.  He was committed to exposing the truth and if you look at many of the other people who have been targeted for assassination - we think of people like Dr Fabian Ribeiro.  We think of Mr Griffiths Mxenge, his wife Victoria Mxenge, Reggie Hadebe, Professor Sibankulu.  All of them educated, progressive people, who worked to make a difference in this country, and we begin to realise and understand why those people were targeted for assassination.  The inquest in this matter is taking place.  We hope very, very much that that inquest will do a proper investigative job, which could have been done by the KwaZulu Police years ago when your husband was killed, and we hope very much, for your sake, that it will come forward with the names of the people who killed your husband.  Not only the people who pulled the triggers but, much more importantly, who told the people to pull the triggers and although this will not bring your husband back to you and your children it might make it easier for you to accept, but I think you should also take courage from the fact that your husband was regarded as a hero by many, many people, and we hope that you find some comfort in that.  Thank you very much for coming in today.
