Mr Chairman, I have during the course of the indulgence that the Committee granted me, tried to get hold of the witness we intend to call.  He is away in the Transkei attending a funeral of a relative at the moment.  We could not succeed to get hold of him, his phone is closed, although earlier on we had contacted him and he had indicated his willingness.
	Therefore the only question that is standing out at the moment is when would he be here, and we are going to try everything we can, that he should be here by Thursday, to come and give evidence to the Committee.  If he is not here by Thursday, we will find someone in the regional structure to take his place.
	I now would ask the Committee to lay to rest the applicant's case for a while.
