CHAIRPERSON
It's been a long hearing, two weeks almost and I'd prefer written arguments.  These are my directions
	On behalf of the applicants, in three week's time as from Monday.
	All the others, five weeks from Monday.
	Those heads which would apply to the applicants must be also be directed to all the other interested parties here so that they can have an opportunity to read those heads and then reply by the fifth week.  Any objections to that?
	There are two matters that the Committee wishes people who wish to deal to deal with it to be dealt with.  
1)	The question of whether a revenge attack can nonetheless be described as one committed with a political motive, and while you're at it, whether it would qualify as malicious or not and the same for gangsterism.  Any questions?  None.
	I must say before we close that we thank all the people who found it necessary to attend.  
	I just also want to say that these heads must be directed to Cape Town, not to us personally.  The head office will see to it that we receive it.  
	I want to say thankyou to the Interpreters and the people responsible for all the electronics that we required in this hearing, the people who were responsible for setting up the venue and all that goes with it.  A special thanks to the media for the co-operation, especially in this hearing.  And I want to thank all the people who attended this hearing.  We appreciate that it is a sensitive matter and I must say, I hope I'm not wrong, but it seems to me that as the hearing progressed the tensions that were quite obvious at the beginning of the hearing had somewhat subsided.  I'm very happy about that.  
	You may have heard me on numerous occasions allude to the issue of an uncomplicated life in Ermelo and surrounding areas.  A lot has happened in the last couple of years, sometimes extremely painful.  For some of us it is not easy to withstand and I talk of both sides of the political spectrum or however many political parties are involved.  It is tragic that people were put through this.  
	I don't know what the future holds for us, but this hearing was an attempt to help heal the past and to put everybody on the path to a normal life.  I saw this morning a nice small child walk into this hearing.  We've got to think of kids like that instead of posturing politically because when we are gone and dead we can't allow children like that to grow up thinking that the only way we can survive and live is by fighting with each other like animals.  I particularly hope that the people in this area can see their way clear to resist political manipulation and we've learnt now about third forces, how to identify them and how to avoid them and restore our community.  It is no excuse to tell ourselves that we did it for money.  You can't buy that of the community.  
	I can only wish you luck on behalf of the Committee, that you don't have to go through that madness again and if there is an attempt to put you through that again, to resist it.  I hope my words are heeded. 
	Finally, I wish to thank the representatives for appearing and being of assistance, thank you.
