M&G remains gagged on SABC audit report

On the return date for the interdict yesterday, Judge Justice Poswa granted the applicant, a senior SABC executive, another postponement of the matter. Poswa ruled that the applicant had not had sufficient time to study the transcript of last week\'s proceedings, which he received on Thursday morning, or the M&G\'s papers, filed on Wednesday night. The judge also said that because of the crowded court schedule on Thursday he had not had enough time to familiarise himself with the facts of the case, says a Mail & Guardian Online report. The attorneys for the applicant, Barry Aaron and Associates, asked for permission to file replying affidavits by Wednesday next week, but Poswa objected that ‘in important matters, attorneys do not sleep’. He gave the applicant until Monday 3.30pm to file. The substance of the matter will finally be argued on Wednesday. Full Mail & Guardian Online report
