REV XUNDU
Chairperson I would like to respond by thanking you for agreeing to Chair this two day hearing.  I
EAST LONDON HEARING TRC/EASTERN CAPE
2 N FLEPU
particularly requested you to do so because of the difficulty I feel whenever I have to deal with the Bisho Massacre event and how closely I was associated with the developments which were trying to avoid it.  I wish to thank you Chairperson for the very dignified and able manner in which you have Chaired over these two days.  You brought into our hearings your special gifts in terms of patience and tolerance, and we are indeed indebted to you for the smooth way in which these last two days, which were indeed very difficult have been so ably handled.  We record our deep sense of gratitude and appreciation.
 We would like also to thank Dr Ramashala and in absentia Hlengiwe Mkhizi also for their participation and for their contribution to this hearing.  
 Unfortunately if you are going to catch a flight you will have to leave now and we have to take leave of you, not because  - we would have loved to have ended this thing properly with you in the Chair.  Thank you very much,
CHAIRMAN AND DR RAMASHALA LEAVE THE HEARING
