MR PRIOR
Mr Chairman, the matter of Mthembui, which is a part-heard matter before this Committee, my information this morning was that Mr Mthembui was arrested in Eshowe District on Thursday last by members of the Murder and Robbery Squad.
	We have been unable in this short space of time to find out exactly where he is, it is unlikely that he would be here today.  In the circumstances of the matter, I would ask that the matter simply be adjourned in absentia for a date to be arranged with his representative.  Mr Wills unfortunately was here, he left to go back to his office and won't be able to get back to the hearing within the next 15 minutes.
