MR HOLE
Sir there are two reasons for this. The first reason being that from my understanding it was not strictly necessary for them to make a further statement in addition to the affidavit, form one, that they have made.
	And the second reason Sir which contributed very largely to this was that the two applicants reside in rural villages in Alice. That is somewhere in the border area of the Eastern Cape province. That is some hundred kilometres from where I practice. And there are no telephones there. People have to drive from East London and look for the applicants. And when they have consulted with them, go back to East London, type out affidavits and make arrangements to go back to Alice again. And this involves time and this involves travelling as well. That is the reason.
