MR PRIOR
Mr Chairman, yes.  During the luncheon adjournment I was telephoned by the Chief Executive Officer, Dr Minyuku, from Cape Town.  He wanted to know where I was - what I was doing in Johannesburg because I was unable to contact him over the weekend and I indicated that we had a problem with this hearing and that there was a likelihood that we wouldn't proceed if there was a request for an adjournment given the developments this morning and he indicated that I should place on record, or inform the Chair of the considerable cost to the Commission at this delicate stage in the process where we can hardly waste funds.  I understand from the logistics officer that just today we have wasted costs in the order of about R7 to R8000.  In addition thereto both victims are present - Mrs Erasmus and Klukas who are extremely upset at the developments today.  They came here expecting to hear the further evidence and possibly the conclusion of the application.
	But further than that I have no other comment.
