CHAIRPERSON
Today we'll be commencing with the hearings of Messrs Botha, Maree, Basson, van Zyl, Burger, Verster, Webb, Barnard.  I'd like to welcome you  all here.  Before we commence, I'd like to briefly introduce the Panel to you.  On my left is Mr Jonas Sibanyoni, he's a member of the Amnesty Committee, he's an attorney and he comes from Pretoria, Gauteng.  On my right is Mr Ilan Lax, also a member of the Amnesty Committee, also an attorney.  He comes from Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu Natal and I am Selwyn Miller.  I am a Judge of the High Court attached to the Transkei Division of the Court.  These proceedings will be simultaneously translated and in order to benefit from the translation, you must be in possession of one of these devices.  If you do not have one, they will be available, I'm sure, from the Sound Technician.  I can't see him at the moment, but he must be around somewhere.  There he is.  If you want to benefit from the translation, please get one of these.
	I would at this stage request the legal representatives to kindly place themselves on record.  Let's start here.
