CHAIRPERSON
Mr Radebe, I don't know whether it is part of your nature to respond to questions in the fashion in which you have been responding.  You do not respond to what is being sought to be established by a particular question.  You do on to ramble about unnecessary evidence that is not material to your application.  I must implore you again to try and keep to issues which are sought to be elicited by a question.  Questions are not put to you for the sake of being put to you, they are intended to elicit important information that will assist us in deciding your application.  You at time do more damage than good in the manner in which you are responding to questions.  Try and confine your responses to issues which are sought by any question put to you.  To come back to the problem at hand.  What is being asked of you is to try and explain why we are sitting with two different versions, particularly in regard to when you became a member of the Zone 12 unit.  You will recall that before we took our tea adjournment, and when I asked you when you became a member of the Zone 12 unit after you had stated in your evidence in chief that you were a member of a unit that was located at Small Farm, your evidence was that you became a member of the Zone 12 unit after you had experienced problems at Small Farms and then you moved to the Zone 12 unit.  When I asked you to estimate when you became such a member, you said you would be unable to do so.  Then I said you must do so by making use of the occurrence of the Elsie Mokoena and Hapile Ndumo incident which occurred on the 15th of August 1993, and your response that was that you became a member of the Zone 12 unit after that incident had occurred.  However, when we came back from our tea adjournment and you were still being questioned by your counsel, you gave a different version of when you became a member of the SDU, and your evidence in that regard was that you became a member of the Zone 12 unit SDU approximately 2 to 3 months before the incident occurred.  Now you have been requested to explain how you could give two conflicting versions with regard to when you became a member of the Zone 12 unit.
