Mr Chairman I am concerned about my learned colleague Mr Wessels' response that it's highly unlikely.  This evidence was given the day before yesterday, the vital evidence, in relation to his client.  There is a weekend.  His client says I am denying that this has happened.  Senior members of our profession work within weekends in the middle of a trial.  I don't want to prescribe to my learned friend how he should conduct his case.  I am told by Mr Kahanovitz juniors work as well.  He corrects it, only juniors work during the weekends, so he says with some justification I may say.  But Mr Chairman I would urge my learned friend, one would have thought that Mr Verster would, whatever business or activity he may be involved in, would have come here a couple of days ago.  He no doubt will make himself available for my learned friend during the weekend, and I would urge that he tries to finish his cross-examination of this witness, we will continue with the witness on Monday, because for a person in his position Mr Chairman to be sitting here, listen to evidence, being influenced or uninfluenced by what is happening isn't fair, and I would urge that the Committee appeal to my learned friend to proceed and complete his cross-examination of the witness.  Thank you Mr Chairman.
