Advocate Wim Trengove, SC, has been briefed by the TRC to give a legal opinion on the Amnesty Committee's decision to grant amnesty to 37 ANC applicants. He has also accepted a brief concerning the granting of amnesty to Mr Trevor Tutu.

We have asked Adv. Trengove that the matter should be considered as a high priority. We will issue a further statement as soon as we have received his opinion.
