MS COLERIDGE
Chairperson, the Eugene Fourie matter has been set down for today.  The incident is the search of premises of Thami Zulu and the assault of his wife Thabazile Ngade.  I have been informed by Mr Rossouw that his client will not be able to attend the proceedings, Chairperson.  Mr Ngobe is the legal representative for Ms Ngade.
	I'd like to place on record, Chairperson, that we have been in contact with Mr Lamey regarding this incident since September month.  We have informed and notified his office regarding the date for this incident.  Up until Friday, Chairperson, I had spoken to Mr Lamey and he had informed me that his client would be here today and requested that I start with the matter first thing today and I agreed Chairperson and this morning we were informed that he's unable to attend the hearings.
