MR STRYDOM
Chairperson, I want to object at this stage, my learned friend is putting the one leading question after the other.  Normally that is the right of a person that cross-examines, I will concede that, but if the cross-examiner shares an interest with the witness, so what he wants to hear is Police complicity, and under those circumstances, he cannot put leading questions.  I haven't got authority with me, but I am aware of certain authorities that state exactly that.  I will go a little bit further by stating that it has been placed on record that my learned friend, consulted with this witness, and under those circumstances, I will also say that he won't be entitled to put leading questions to him.
