MR TSHOLANKU
Advocate de Jager, I wouldn't argue with you, I agree with you but the point is it was not clarified for the Committee and everybody else.  That particular point is still shadowed, we don't know exactly what particular point was he referring to.  I agree with you there was not an afternoon before the march but my understanding is that
"Die middag voor die tyd"
Would mean: 
"The afternoon before the time of the march itself"
Not to mean:
"The afternoon before the day of the march"
It could be three afternoons before the time of the march - 2 after, it's not clear.
