MR MADASA
Mr Chair, I would like to point out that I will simply refer to the applicants collectively, and except where need arises point out certain things in respect of particular applicants.   Thank you, Mr Chair.
	Mr Chair, I submit that, on behalf of the applicants the issues to be decided are simply as follows:  whether the applicants, when they committed the acts or offences in question, those acts were associated with a political objective, and whether they have made full disclosure.
	Dealing with the political objective, Mr Chair, Mr Chair I submit that the SDU, it is a well-known fact that it was formed as a result or consequent to call by ANC for the defence of the communities.
