ADV J MOSES
If I may then proceed, Chairperson.  As I have indicated there is a preliminary issue with which I would like to deal with your permission.  I have taken the liberty of preparing a very brief summary of the main points which I would like to make before Mr Mbane is requested to take the oath, and with your leave, may I ask to hand this to the members of the Committee, as well as to my colleagues.
	If I may, Chairperson, these submissions are, or were, prepared on the basis or on the premise that the members of the Committee as well as my learned colleagues are indeed in possession of a statement which was prepared and which was apparently taken from Mr Mbane by the investigating unit of the Commission, which statement I am informed and instructed is indeed in the possession of the members of the Committee and the various legal representatives.
	The statement which I have been given and the original which has been signed is up to paragraph 59, Chairperson, and I mention that because we have also been furnished with, inter alia, volume two of the bundle of documents before you, where under the index, item number 9, which would be the first on the front page of volume 2, would be Frank Mbane's affidavit. And you will see, Chairperson, that according to that copy, or that affidavit, it is neither signed and it runs up to paragraph 65.  I am told and I have just been handed the original which, the signature had been confirmed by my client and that original only contains 59 paragraphs and I am mentioning that because that will be used as the basis for the evidence of Mr Mbane.
