Sophie. // Commissioner Ntsebeza, still on the issue of transparency, will the Commission reveal the name of the spy that the five policemen spoke about, because that is in the public interest, the right to know also has to be respected and the constitution. // Now, the first thing that I must ask is why is this information suddenly important? I’m not saying we won’t reveal but where did this thing arise? It arose in the context of an amnesty application and the names were mentioned by the Cronje five in that context and the ruling was made by the Amnesty Committee, and they stand by that ruling, because the Committee made it very clear that for present purposes, for their purposes, it was irrelevant. And you don’t admit evidence that is irrelevant. What we have now done is we are going to investigate - which lies in my domain - we are going to follow up the question of who the names are. But can you imagine? If those people say for instance we heard from somebody and somebody that the names are so and so, Mandela was one of our informers. … is going to make that public?
