MS THABETHE
Members of the Committee, they have been present from yesterday because this matter was supposed to be heard yesterday.  I want to take this opportunity to apologise to them for wasting basically their time yesterday and today, but it is something that we could not foresee.  As they have heard for themselves that the applicants were thinking that somebody is going to come on their behalf, but it transpired today that this person is not here.
	So I would just like to apologise to them sincerely and inform them that we will let them know of the next date in time and we will pay all the costs for the travelling for today.
