CHAIRPERSON
Because of the constraints imposed upon us and which are beyond our control we were going to adjourn by 12 o'clock today in any case.  Although there is a little time left between now and then I think it is impractical to start a new witness' evidence at this stage even though we may finish a part of his evidence.  And it now seems that the evidence of that witness and other witnesses who are likely to be called and who have not turned up they will have to be heard on another occasion.  Unfortunately it is not possible for us to say at this stage when the Committee, constituted as it is, will be able to sit, but the earliest available date will be obtained and I'm not in a position now to tell you even when that is going to be.
	However, the Committee is now going to adjourn these hearings and we will resume on a date to be arranged.  Interested parties no doubt will be consulted in finalising the date of the resume hearing.
	It is important that I should place on record an agreement that has been reached by counsel and that is counsel for the applicants will hand in their written argument on or before the 23rd of February 1998, and that counsel for the objectors will thereafter hand in theirs by not later than 9th of March 1998.  It is hoped that if these arguments are handed in we may yet save a little time at the resumed hearing.  I would just like to confirm with counsel, it quite clear Mr Prinsloo and Mrs van der Walt that 23rd February is the date for you to do that?
