ADV DU PLESSIS
Well, Mr Chairman, with respect, the problem in principle is here now, the question 
is if a person who is implicated and is represented at the hearings is entitled to subject the applicants to 
cross-examination, I want to repeat we do not want to object to that, I am not objecting to that, all I am 
asking is, I am asking a ruling of the Committee pertaining to this, Mr Chairman. I read Section 30 as 
referring to a person that he should be afforded an opportunity to submit representations to the Commission 
within a specified time with regard to the matter under consideration or to give evidence at a hearing of the 
Commission.  Now the fact that there is reference to giving evidence at a hearing of the Commission might 
also include the right to cross-examination. I just cannot let this go by without raising the point because of 
the fact that the Act is not clear on this.
