The committee finds it difficult not to accept that the applicant's act, endorsed by the group of people, was for political reasons. DR RANDERA: Can I ask again is Beryl Harmse here? No. I would like to then call Nomasonto Kgalema. Can I please ask individuals who are taking photographs, not to use their flash cameras as people are telling stories. Thank you very much. I want to welcome a number of groupings who are here ... DR RANDERA: Were there any other people who were affected in this way, who had also been exposed to the same tear gas?

You are 38 years old now and you have also come to tell us about what happened on 18th June 1976.
