MR DEHAL
Mr Chairperson, you will notice from the list of witnesses and applicants that Ms Kooverjee and I represent, that what has happened today is I have decided to represent Mr Lecordier and the reason is simply that he falls within the purvee(purview) of the broader spectrum of acts which covers Mr McBride and Ms Apelgren.  Ms Kooverjee has therefore represented Mr Allan Pearce.
	Now insofar as the remaining persons we represent are concerned, Janet Apelgren who Ms Kooverjee represents, is in Australia.  You heard from Ms Narkedien that she's not here.  Then we've got Derek McBride, who has handed us a statement which Ms Kooverjee intends to read.  We were hoping to do that at the end so that it facilitates the terminal end.   
	Mr Lecordier is here, unfortunately as we all know, he's been in custody.  We've had some difficulties in finalising, I've had difficulties in finalising his statement, principally because we have difficulties in accessing him at prison.  When I got there on various occasions we met with him briefly, but the prison authorities have given us lots of problems, too numerous to mention.
	I'm hoping that I'd have this weekend to finalise his statement.  We have a broad statement, it's multi-paged but I would like to sit with him properly and canvass that so that we don't have any problems when I lead him.  That's really the last witness, apart from everybody else.  
	And on Antonio du Preez, Ms Kooverjee has a statement to read out, like with Derek McBride, but that would be very brief.  
	With Gordon Webster, I will address you later at the end, but I'm making certain endeavours to contact him again.  He's been in touch with me, but unfortunately he's got no funds to be here.  His friends have been phoning me from time to time.  He would have liked to have been here, but I'm now out of touch with him.  I've tried to raise him, I failed to.  I don't know where he is anymore, but I'm hoping that I can raise him this weekend, I've sent messages to him.  And that's where we stand.
