CHAIRPERSON
Thank you very much, Mr Claassen.  Mr Claassen the next person I think we will proceed to hear is Mr Sithomo, who is the second applicant in this application and from the reading of his application, I must say we take the view that he's application should be fairly short.  I don't know whether Mr Sithole agrees with the way we understand the issues dealt in Mr Sithomo's application which really curtail the proceedings.
	In that case, because we seem to be having a common understanding, Ms Thabete also has the same view, we would request Correctional Services to accommodate us.  We are aware that they are supposed to go back at 4 o'clock.  We feel that this matter is capable of being disposed of within an hour.  The time now is twenty five to four.  
	I think the matter might be finalised before half past four, and we would request their indulgence in that regard. ...(end of tape) such a reasonable request would do great injustice to the victims who are coming from Heidelberg, who will have to be accommodated at great expense to the Commission on a matter which could have been disposed of in about 20 minutes time.  Can I take it that our request to Correctional Services is acceded to?  Thank you very much.  
	We then proceed to hear the application of Mr Rapheal Senzagakhona Sithomo.
