MS MOLOISANE
Madam Chair and Committee Members, I have already stated that the applicant was merely an operator.  He depended on somebody who had to issue orders, and as to the verification of the allegations levelled against the particular people, or in this case Maletsatsi, it was not encumbent upon the applicant himself to verify those orders.  It was the duty of his unit commander, Madam Chair, and having, these SDUs having been recognised by the community, and, my submission is that the applicant had no other way but to comply with orders that were issued by his unit commander who was recognised as his unit commander and who had earned that position by virtue of his having been an ex-MK cadre, and who also had the authority to issue commands.
	My submission is therefore that there was a political motive, and that the objective that was sought to be achieved was purely political.
