CHAIRPERSON
Mr Ntuli, we thank you very much for coming here today.  You've given us a very clear, very vivid description of what life was like only a very few years ago, as an activist in this area, one of the most violent areas in the country.  Your story is a story which can be told in many other parts of this province.  People like yourself, either civic leaders or trade union leaders, who were continuously arrested, stopped, had their cars and their houses searched, charged, and you had your house attacked.  Your brother was killed and in the most cowardly of all these incidents your elderly mother was shot dead, and these have all had an effect on you.  You said your whole family was affected and I think you must accept, unfortunately, that the scars will be with you and members of your family in some way or another for the rest of your life, and after you short spell away from Empangeni it's courageous to hear that you have come back to this area and you continue to be of service to your community.  So thank you again very much for telling us that story.  It's important to hear these first-hand, detailed accounts of the activities of the police from that time and that information will find its way into our report.  Thank you very much for being here today.
