MR PHOSA
Mr Chairman, if I could start I have an application to make namely, that the ...[inaudible] should be postponed until tomorrow morning.  I received instructions - through no fault of mine or the family, only over the weekend.  This is not a joking matter, it is a serious matter and not one which you just brush over for the benefit of any person.
	The intention is to see to it with that at long last justice is done in this matter and if I must be involved in doing justice in this matter, I must be properly instructed.  I have never done so before and I won't do so now, I will never proceed in a matter where I am not ready for the benefit of the people I'm acting for, to move ahead.  Therefore, when I make this application it is meant not for my benefit but for the benefit of the families sitting down there, therefore I request that I be given time to do justice for the last time to those who are not here, the two people who passed away and their families.
	I have access to certain information which was not available to me until this morning, with regards to certain possible witnesses.  I would need to interview, prior to doing any cross-examination.  This therefore means there could be two possibilities, one would be to postpone until I have seen these witnesses, which we hope to do tonight when they will first be available or alternatively, if it is so felt the proceedings can go on for as long as I am not called upon to cross-examine anybody - which is our intention to cross-examine  so, there are two options available.
