MR KOOPEDI
Thank you Chairperson, Honourable Committee Members.  My submission will be very brief.  My client would be opposed to any further postponement of this matter purely because this matter has been going on for a long time and also again that it comes at a very high cost to my client.  But just to take it a little further, Chairperson, Honourable Committee Members, I'd like to put on record that the process of amnesty is not only about the giving of amnesty to applicants, it is mainly and to a very large extent so intended to enhance reconciliation.  I do not think that by giving any further postponements to this matter we would be doing justice to that part.  I do not see us moving the two people, if one may class them as such, together by furthering postponing this matter.  The Committee will only be helping to disillusion the victims who are here.  The victims who are here I was reliably informed that they come from different areas where public transport is also a problem to them.  Some had to brave the rain this morning to be here and Chairperson, Honourable Committee Members, if indeed it is possible that perhaps another legal representation can be arranged it would be my submission that this application should be refused and that this matter should go on so that all the people interested in this matter can see justice to be done.  For the better part of the morning there has been numerous questions, why aren't we starting, why are we called here and the matter is not proceeding.  It is my submission therefore that it would not be fair to the victims and the interested parties to tell them at this late hour that we will not be proceeding because we are unable to handle the matter.  Thank you Chairperson.
