MOKOTEDI MPSHE
Advocate Nemane got instructions this morning. But initially when I contacted the Legal Aid Board I spoke to one of their personnel a Mrs Nortje, she said to me Mr Mthembu, who was now present in the former matter, Mr Mthembu has been instructed to represent the applicant.  And when I conveyed this to Mr Mthembu yesterday Mr Mthembu said no he does not know of such an instruction, he has not been given an instruction.  And I took it up again with Mrs
Nortje here in Bloemfontein who then apologised to me and said she thought that Mr Mthembu was given the instruction but it has transpired that the instruction is still on her desk in the office.  It has not been given to Mr Mthembu.  And I said to her Advocate Nemane is available to assist, and she said to me Advocate Nemane is briefing another matter that is why he is here, he is here on another Legal Aid matter.   But if he is available they can arrange that he take the matter.  Then she gave the instruction to him to take the matter.  And I immediately thereafter gave him all the application and all relevant documents and he has consulted with the client this morning.
