I accept that.   ...have consulted extensively about the problem that the Committee raised in relation to
3b	the /...

the statement presented before the Committee allegedly to be from the applicant.   Chairperson my instructions are as follows - when the applications were being made they were made in prison.  All the applicants were in one cell and as they were in one cell, with the advices from the prominent figures from the ANC, and in particular they name mentioned here is the one of Mr Oupa (indistinct) who is the member of parliament for the ANC National Assembly.   Following those advices then they assisted each other.   Now in assisting each other then they charged Mr Dlanjwa.  Dlanjwa, Chairperson is one of the applicants in the matter that will follow.   The reason why he himself in particular was charged of assisting I am told it was because of his educational background.  When he was arrested and convicted Chairperson, Mr Dlanjwa was a third year law student.   I talked to him in this regard and he advised me as well that he did so, however whatever that he put down in writing is what was dictated upon by the applicant and the two other co-applicant in this matter.   
	Chairperson this problem is similar to what we may experience in the coming matter.   The statements were as well written by the same Dlanjwa.   Chairperson my moving away from, these were my instructions, however when I raised an appeal the fact that it be taken, I appeal that it be taken by this Committee to cognisance that the forms were filled in prison, the applicants had no legal assistance.  They may not have understood the questions on their own and hence sought assistance of their major (indistinct).  Thank you Mr Chairperson.
