Absolutely, I think it will obviously curtail proceedings because we would be waiting for witnesses who would be coming from afar.  I don't think it really will damage your case Mr Claassens because she does not seek to rely on the affidavit or anything that would have been put to him emanating from the affidavit with the hope that the two witnesses would be called in to corroborate the allegations contained in those affidavits and also to enable you to cross-examine them.  So we can proceed obviously to argue the case on the basis that the affidavits do not exist.
