ADV PRIOR
Today what's on the roll is the Amnesty Application of Mr Aggie Shoke - Amnesty Number 8014/97 and Harold Matshididi - Amnesty Number 8007/97.  Today is the 3rd August and the Amnesty Committee sits in Johannesburg at the Institute of Social Services, Queens Road, Mayfair.
	Mr Chairman, at the appropriate time, the transcribers have requested that the Members of the Committee as well as the legal representatives simply identify their voices before the proceedings start so that any transcription can be properly transcribed attributing the questions and or statements to the voice.  Can that be done after I address?
	Mr Chairman, before I continue there was some problem with the obtaining of more particulars regarding the events.  I have supplied you with a number of documents relating to the correspondence with the former legal representative of the applicants.  I do not propose to go into any detail at this stage but should the Committee deem it necessary, obviously it will place that on record.  Suffice to say that any delay in the matter has not been caused by Mr Landman at all, he having come into the matter at a very late stage.  
	May I also place on record that only this morning was it brought to my attention that there are two other names that have been names possibly as implicated or applicants in this matter.  One Mr Dumakude and one Mr Dube.  They are both however represented by Mr Greg Knott of the firm Bell, Dewar and Hall of Johannesburg.  Mr Knott and I have been in communication with each other and I've appraised him of the situation.  Given the extent of their complicity or participation of the events of Ellis Park Bombing, he is happy to join in the proceedings tomorrow and to that end will be in attendance tomorrow with his clients, the persons I have mentioned.  He will be brought up to speed with the evidence tendered this afternoon.
