PUMZILE MAYAPI
First of all, I would like to thank you for this opportunity that was offered to me by the TRC, to create a situation whereby I could come and see the people who encountered a loss during this incident, so as to see them face to face and be able to say to them we humbly apologise about this.  I'm so happy to see them.  I haven't seen them before.  I did not know them.  I am asking for forgiveness from them and I know it's going to be difficult for them, but I am humbly requesting them to understand the situation that was prevailing at the time in South Africa, that it was a situation that was beyond description.  I am certain that almost in each and every third family in South Africa, each and every third family has been affected by this conflict in South Africa.
	I want to talk about this incident.  Our mission was not aimed at them as families.  As I've already explained, we did not even know them, but it was a situation that was prevailing at the time and that was beyond anyone's control.  I will end there.  I want to say to them I am asking for forgiveness.
