No.  The reason why I am before the Commission today is to ask amnesty, not from the Commission but from Mr Phelane and his family and the community as a whole.
What I have indicated that it was our intention. I think people have achieved what they wanted, there is no time presently for me to fight Mr Phelane or him to fight me, as he is doing.  I'm telling you that the people in our township are still being harassed by Mr Phelane's gangsters.  I was very happy to see him here because he will understand what I am [presenting before the Commission, because he knows very well that what I am saying here is the truth.  	The most important thing is this one.  Mr Morgan Phelane made some mistakes, Mr Morgan Phelane has to forgive so that we can forgive him back, and I will take him to the community to ask forgiveness on his behalf.  I have mentioned our comrades who had been killed by Mr Phelane's gangsters.  Nobody was arrested but the parents know very well who killed their children. I am here and I am in Brandfort.  I am prepared to intervene.  I was expecting that people that I have referred to today like Christian Bosman, Billy, we know exactly what happened to them. We were also expecting that Mr Phelane himself or Edward Phelane would be standing here before the Commission asking amnesty.
	As people we would forgive him and then maybe he would forgive us.  I am asking now, Mr Phelane, stop the attacks in the township or stop the attacks conducted by your group, because at the end of the day you are the only person who will be faced with all these things.  I am here to ask amnesty, forgiveness from Mr Phelane in what we did to his family.
