CHAIRPERSON
I want to start the proceedings. For the record this is a hearing of the Amnesty Committee sitting in Bloemfontein, the panel residing consists of myself, Denzil Potgieter chairing, together with Adv Gcabashe and Mr Malan. 	We are hearing the application this morning of Mr Justice Bekebeke, Reference No AM6370/97. Mr Bekebeke, I am advised that you will be handling the matter on your own. Is that correct? You must just press the red button, that will switch it on.
