MR HOBOYI: The people who attacked us, we didn't know where they were coming from. We were asleep, it was me and the other twins were staying next door to us.

We accept his evidence that he, at the time he threw the grenade, believed that they had come to the house to get him solely because he was a member of MK recently returned from exile. CHAIRPERSON: Because it has become obvious during the few days we have been here that there are difficulties in conducting hearings here in Durban where the incident took place, in the North or South Coast and where the people live there.

He related a number of incidents in which people were killed, homes burnt and people forced to leave the township. MR KNIGHT: Thank you Mr Chairman.

Before we leave I'd just like to thank everybody who has made this hearing possible this week, what we've had this week.
