Mr Malinga, we are going to come back to the question of your present situation later.  I just want us to go back to the incidents that you've already described in your statement.  This was something very horrific, to lose your family members, your mother Nsacharia Malinga who was actually hacked to death.  You say that you did open a court case at Davel police station and you were actually issued with case numbers but that nothing has developed from this.  We have, on the basis of what you have submitted to us, tried to take the matter further.  To get dockets and to see what role the police actually played in this, so from the side of the Commission we will try and follow up on all of the leads in your statement.  We have also sent letters to the people whom you mention as the perpetrators, whom you spoke about in your statement as well, Napoleon  Mkonza, Matebule Maluleka, Schlangwani Mtetwa.  All of those people have actually been sent letters for them to comment on these allegations which you make that they were directly involved.  I really want to just try and see if we can understand what was going on here and this is not to take away at all from your personal suffering which must be very difficult.  It seems that, what we do know is that this Mr Mkonza you refer to, Napoleon Mkonza, that at that point in time he was actually the  Mayor in the township.  Not so?
