MR HOLE
Sir I could effectively communicate to the ANC that please I need to see these people, here is a notice of set down, this matter is to be heard on such and such a date. Whether or not the ANC got hold of the applicant I was not advised. And I could only having been to the ANC offices I could only see this applicant on Thursday last week, not the week before. Only on Thursday last week when I drove from my office to Alice and back again to East London and search for his school. So this thing about why this could not be done within a certain time I had only Thursday to look for this man and find him and Friday to prepare that affidavit and prepare other things as well. It is perhaps not fair to assume Sir that I had all the time in the world to do this when I could only meet this man and try to consult with him on the merits of this matter on Thursday last week only when the matter was scheduled to be heard on Tuesday.
