CHAIRPERSON
The Committee would like to take a short adjournment to consider the matter and we hope to give a decision if it is at all possible before too long.
HEARING ADJOURNS
ON RESUMPTION
	Mr George Bizos, on behalf of Mrs Hani and the African National Congress, has made an application for a postponement of these proceedings.
	It has been indicated that the South African Communist Party, because of the general background to this case, is a vitally interested party in the outcome of these proceedings.  
	The Committee has decided that this application is to be postponed.  We have discussed the matter with the counsel for the applicants and the counsel for the respondents and we have come to the firm conclusion that without any further postponements, for whatever reason, this application will commence on the 11th of August and will carry on until it is finished.
	To Mr Derby-Lewis and Mr Janus Walus, if this works as a hardship to you, I am sorry that it has to be so, but I assure you that this application will be proceeded with and we will deal with it until it is concluded.  Once again I am sorry that it has caused you anxiety and inconvenience.
	Steps will be taken to ensure that the Communist Party is officially notified of this postponement.  
	Counsel on both sides have also agreed that at least a week before the hearing they will meet and sort out the documents so that the documents we have before us, and any other papers that might be filed on behalf of those who oppose this application, are then properly before the Committee when it meets on the 11th of August.
	To anybody else who has been inconvenienced by this postponement I say it is unfortunate that this has to be so, and we hope that this difficulty will not arise again.
	I am told that a representative of the Communist Party is present, she is aware that this matter has now been adjourned until the 11th of August and she must take steps to ensure that whatever representations they propose making in this regard, that they will do so timeously.
	Mr Bizos will you be appearing for Mrs Hani and the African National Congress?
