MR SAMUEL
I'm not going to call any witness at this stage, but save for the fact that I did not consult with Mr Jikila, I do not know whether he is aware of his appearance today.  I have been to his place on two occasions and my fear is that if he does come about at any time between now and tomorrow, you know the story could change, but then I noticed in his affidavit he does mention that he discussed the matter with the applicant and he forgave him.  I do not know what to deduce from that.  My suspicion is that because he did not come forward and consult with me and even make his appearance at this hearing, the only inference I can draw is that he does not intend opposing the application.  In the premises I do not have any witnesses to call and I do not intend calling the victims as well.  They do not in principle have any problem with the application except for the statement that I've put  forth to the applicant.  Thank you Mr Chair.
