MR HATTINGH
Mr Chairman, I believe and the instructions that I have now also received from my Attorney is that Mr Du Plessis did not speak directly to Mr Bellingan about his withdrawal from the matter.
	I stand to be corrected if I am saying something which is not correct at this stage, but in any event, apparently towards the middle of last week, Mr Bellingan telephoned Mr Nolte the Attorney and he was then advised that Adv Du Plessis was withdrawing from the matter.
	The reason for the withdrawal was never conveyed to Mr Bellingan either by Mr Du Plessis, Adv Du Plessis, himself, or the Attorneys, so as far as Mr Bellingan is concerned, he doesn't know what the reason for the withdrawal is.
	Secondly, the Attorneys apparently are also not in a position to tell this, or give instructions as to what the reasons for Mr Du Plessis' withdrawal were.
