MR HATTINGH
Mr Chairman, this very question, I being very fresh with the Bar, I discussed this morning with a senior Bar member, whether I should this question do come my way, how should I respond to it and should I be compelled to give a response and what I am about to say is that this is based on senior advice that I got from my Bar in Pretoria, is that I do not have to respond to this question, because it is not on my own opinion that I am basing this application, but in fact on the perceptions of the victims, and for that very reason, I would rather not commit myself to saying yes, I support it or I have my doubts, or I believe it is a good application or not.
	What I can say is that on my studying of the law, of the case law, I do have adequate support to place it within the ambit of an application for recusal.
