CHAIRPERSON
... and it is said that he has vital evidence to give to this Committee, arising out of his contact with the leaders of those organisations. This may have a direct bearing, I am saying it may have a direct bearing on the outcome of this application.
	My Committee has considered this submission made by the professor and we have come to the conclusion that his request for a postponement has been well-motivated and we agree that this application should therefore be postponed. 	Whenever applications are set down a number of people are involved in these proceedings in the preparation, a number of other victims are involved, some of whom may be travelling considerable distances to come here and may well arrive, perhaps due to no fault of their own, may well arrive late, who have an interest in this matter, and it is a pity that inconvenience is caused to a number of people by postponing this application. It is unfortunate that such inconvenience may have to be caused to them.  However, the reasons which we have been influenced - the factors which have influenced us, leaves us with no alternative. We are therefore of the view that this application will have to be postponed to a date that must be ascertained by Mr Mpshe and with the representatives of Mr Cassandro.
	Now counsel for the applicant, it is unfortunate that you have taken the trouble to represent your clients, and it is unfortunate that an inconvenience in this case is caused to your clients and to you.  But, in this case it seems that your clients are not in prison, they are free citizens and a further postponement of this application would not have the same hardship that it would have, had they been people who were serving terms of imprisonment and awaiting the outcome of a decision by the Amnesty Committee.
	I trust that you will convey our feelings, our disappointment that we can't proceed this morning, that you will convey that to your clients.
	My colleague here on my right, wishes to make a statement as well.
