CHAIRPERSON
I find that a very difficult reason to comprehend.  This is a letter that is talking about a hearing that was to take place in a few weeks time.  It was not just a general correspondence, it sought to elicit information that would enable this hearing to proceed without any hitches and this Committee cannot afford to be saddled with unnecessary hitches which could have been avoided if counsel had attended to the queries raised by our office timeously.
	Ms Thabete, are you saying that this matter is not capable of being proceeded with because the information that you sought to obtain from Mr Mohlaba was not given to you timeously?
