CHAIRPERSON
I think I finally just need to again thank the victims from Ladybrand, Ficksburg, Rouxville, Bothaville, and other parts of the central and southern Free State, who have come here over the last three days to tell us their stories.  They have opened yet another window for this Commission to understand the violent past of this country, and we thank you today for having been brave enough to come here and to tell us your stories and relive those memories.
There are a couple of other people to thank, particularly the volunteer staff who have sat with every witness after they have given their evidence and assisted them to get over the experience, and debriefing them;  the TRC staff, particularly those here in the Free State, under the leadership of Mr Moses Pitso.  We thank the police for providing protection and making us feel secure and safe here over these past few days, and the interpreters for their excellent work.
I want to say a special word of thanks to the media, to the SABC radio, television and the newspapers, not only for reporting on this hearing, but for the many, many hearings that they have reported on throughout the country.  We have travelled a long and often very difficult road together over the past 14 months through the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal, and I am sure many of us will miss the intense experiences that we have all gone through, and the camaraderie that has developed between everyone.
Obviously this process is not finished.  We're not having any more victim hearings, but we are having many other hearings.  We're having institutional hearings, hearings into the role of the press, hearings into the roles of the legal system.  We've just finished a hearing into the role of the medical system.  We will be holding a very long and important event hearing in August into the role of the State in training para-militaries.  So the Truth Commission certainly hasn't come to an end, we still have much work to do, particularly the work of making findings.  We have to make findings in respect of each victim and each perpetrator, so our work will continue for many months to come.
But again thank you to all those people - I forgot to mention the people who provided the sound system.  Thank you very much.  Please remember that as you go, those people that have these earphones please leave them on the chairs.  They are no use to anybody outside.  And  I am going to ask one of our staff members from Bloemfontein, the Reverend Bosman, again to lead us as we sing the national anthem.  Thank you very much.
