CHAIRPERSON
Thank you, Mr Mapoma.
	As you've heard, the applicant has now indicated that he is withdrawing his application for amnesty, as has been stated by Mr Notununu and Mr Mapoma, that is in the discretion of the applicant to do so.  He has brought the application voluntarily to the TRC, to apply for amnesty, he has now decided to withdraw his application and unlike a criminal case where an accused person is forced by the State to attend, whether he likes it or not, we do not have the power, the authority, to force Mr Wana to proceed with his application because this is not like a criminal case.
	We, the Panel, when we came here, were expecting like I'm sure the victim's family and the victim himself, to hear the evidence.  We've read the papers and we were expecting to hear it but as you've heard, the application has been withdrawn and all we can do is to note that and to record that withdrawal of the application.  The effect of the withdrawal, it has no effect at all, other than we're not going to hear what happened.  We are not in a position now to make any decision at all, either granting or refusing amnesty.  So the status quo unfortunately remains the same.  And I can understand the anxiety of the victim and the family of the victims, in not hearing the whole story, the whole version as to what occurred on that dreadful day when their loved ones were killed and when the other victim was seriously injured.
	So in effect then, that brings this application to an end.  We've noted that it's been withdrawn, it won't be able to be reinstated again, it's the end of the matter.  So that is all that can be said.
	The other matter that we have on the role is that of Mr Siqhola.  We will be adjourning now and postponing until 2 o'clock.  We'd hope to commence with that at two.  We were informed this morning that people involved were told that it would start tomorrow because we expected Mr Wana's application to take at least the whole of today, but seeing that it's now been withdrawn, Mr Mapoma is now endeavouring to get everybody back again so we can start the Siqhola matter at 2 o'clock.  So we will then at this stage adjourn until 2 o'clock today when, hopefully, we'll be in a position to proceed with the other matter, that of Mr Siqhola.  Thank you very much.
