MS VAN DER WALT
Even one April is a long time and somewhere something must have gone wrong because the implication is that Oupa Madondo was not the ordinary illiterate prisoner because he knew about his rights, he complained at the Magistrate and something must have shown there.  If the police were to have kept him for such a long time, they must have kept him somewhere and there was nothing in the evidence to speak against this and the fact that there was a ruling on one day and the next day we had the operation.  That is what I would like to say as regards the application or the fact that the family is against the application.  That is what it is all about.  But like you have said, if my client's version is accepted as to why this was done, then it would make no difference.
