CHAIRPERSON
Mr Wills, I'm aware that Ms Thabete still also has to be afforded an opportunity to put questions to Mr Ngxongo, however we had thought that you would be able to proceed with any cross-examination you had with Mr Ngxongo, so that we can then be assured that the matter would be capable of being finalised tomorrow before 12 o'clock, that being the time when this committee will have to adjourn.   We are very loath at having to sit with a part-heard matter, because it is extremely difficult to reconvene the panel with a view of finalising matters such as these, particularly where we are dealing with applicants who are held in custody.   We have to be extremely sensitive to the plight that they face whilst they remain in custody and we are unable to reconvene.   I would have thought that your client also being in the same category as that of Mr Ngxongo, you'd also take this opportunity to take quick instructions in order to be able to protect his interests sufficiently.   As you say, the version given by Mr Ngxongo during his viva voce evidence seems to support the version already given by Mr Mbambo, if I recall, in Ermelo.    We have been sitting and hearing these applications for the past year, and would really want to conclude these Caprivi hearings.   There is nothing new I would expect of you to obtain from any of your clients, particularly with regard to the general operation of the hit squad.   If I can recall the evidence already tendered before us by you, I think there would be very little of you to take instructions on, particularly from Mr Mbambo, who is involved in this particular incident.   However, if you insist that you must be afforded this opportunity, we will reluctantly grant you that indulgence, reluctantly.
