MR STANDER
I also have a problem with my learned friend's method of questioning.  The witness told us pertinently that on several occasions he was arrested and assaulted.  It is so that he did not say that Erasmus was present ever time that he was assaulted but he said that the security police were present on every occasion.   	I pertinently did not ask him about every occasion because otherwise we would still be busy with this tomorrow afternoon, with this specific evidence.
	That is why I made an exception of one and asked the witness what happened on other occasions and he said that he was assaulted on other occasions.  If my learned friend now wants me - wanted me to have led him on every specific occasion that this happened then surely I would have done this.
	But at the beginning of this hearing I was told to keep the matters as brief as possible, and it's on this basis that I've done this and it's unfair to blame this witness for this now.  And what is more, you have already from your side, pointed out to my learned friend that he or that the witness has already said that he was assaulted on various occasions ...[intervention]
