That is correct Mr Chairman.  Mr Nieuwoudt is unwell.  A Doctor's certificate is available, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we didn't bring it along.  We will make it available to the Commission tomorrow.  We hope that he would be ready to proceed with his evidence by Wednesday, hopefully, perhaps tomorrow.
	I in fact intended to call him first, but this is one of those things that happened and although logically it would have been the ideal person to call first, because he gives the overall picture, nonetheless, I think I am satisfied, subject to my learned friends' attitudes, that we can proceed with the matter, although it might be slightly disjointed.
	I intend calling Mr Van Rensburg then as my first witness, and I think it has been more or less agreed between the various legal teams, that that would then be the next logical point to start, although not the most logical one.
	I ask that Mr Nieuwoudt be excused until he is well enough to attend these hearings again.
