MR HATTINGH
Mr Chairman, as we indicated to you, having received the instructions last week Wednesday, after the withdrawal of Adv Du Plessis, I commenced my preparations but I am not yet in a position to proceed today, I am not yet fully prepared to pursue this matter.
	However, before dealing with that, I would like to just point out that also not having met Mr Bellingan, the client, previously and only met him here this morning for the first time, as arranged with Mr Chaskalson, I did not discuss anything with him at this stage, naturally he is under cross-examination, I am not entitled to speak to him, or discuss any merits of the matter at this stage.
	However, I not only, or apart from the merits of the matter, there are also the whole issue of my representing him, number one, and his instructions with regard to the pursuance of this matter and the logistics thereof in the sense that my own feeling is that I am not yet fully prepared, I can't really, I will deal with the opportunity that I am going to request to enable me to prepare, but I would also like to get the input from the client as to what his feelings are as to how this matter should be pursued with new counsel.
