ADV BIZOS: Mr Chairman, may I place a matter on record relating to the attempts to have Mr Snyman medically examined by doctors nominated by the - by us on behalf of the families. Despite attempts being made to resolve various alternative ways in which this could be done, unfortunately no suitable arrangement could be made.
I do not want to create disputes of fact in relation to conversations between legal representatives and doctors. The only matter which I wish to place on record is that we not accept that Mr Snyman is so ill that he cannot give evidence or in one or other way make the vital information which the two witnesses have said he must have.
Having said that, we don't want to say anything more and we leave the rest of the matter to Mr Snyman's representatives to conduct his case and the case of the others in such manner as think best Mr Chairman.
CHAIRPERSON: Yes, thank you Mr Bizos.
I don't suppose you need to comment on anything?
MR BOOYENS: No Mr Chairman, we will deal with it from here onwards. I call as my next witness, Mr Taylor.
