Dr Motshekga, I am not a specialist on the cultural matters regarding the responses and participation of especially the Africans on matters/platforms such as the one running on the above subject. Will you please together with your committee make it as friendly as possible to our people taking into account the less literate who form the big chunk of our population? Here, I am not referring to the provision of interpreters, I mean it in the broad sense of the whole process.
May you together with your committee also be reminded that history has taught us that it is the complexity of the subject of the land coupled with the inhumane apartheid behaviour and laws that created our current situation. It is my strong held believe that you need to be certain that our (Africans) participation is interpreted in the way that we will feel and see that this is that one process that was created to correct the wrong of the past, build a future that is worthy of their participation and that it is fair albeit only at the hearings.

When "some" eloquently raise their views on this subject mainly because of their strong advantage within their self created "land history" and educational background, you must not hear theirs as stronger than the silent voices of the Africans who naturally feel that they have a valid case even in their silence. There is communication in spoken language and in silence, and it is mainly the muffled voices that must be strongly listened to.
