CHAIRPERSON
Mr Strydom, the applicant's may have a case different from the impression I'm getting from the evidence.  As I understand the evidence and the background to this attack, and this is what was put, which was the evidence of Mr Baloyi;  from time to time the police patrolled Boipatong, and this is what the residents apparently did not like and which is why they erected the barricades in and around the township.  Is that common cause or is that an issue?
