Dear Madam,
2. We note with concern that once again the contents have been leaked or furnished
to the media.
3. In view of your response we have now received formal instructions to proceed with
an application principally in respect of the blatantly unfair process which you insist
will be followed, whereby evidence must be presented by affidavit and only as an
exception (subject to the discretion of the Presiding Officer), may oral evidence be
led. This is plainly unlawful and irrational. Full details will be contained in the court
papers which will be served upon you as soon as they are concluded.
5. Should the Presiding Officer recuse herself as demanded by our client, then please
furnish us with confirmation thereof and the name of her replacement. Should she,
on the other hand, refuse to recuse herself then the question of her suitability to
preside will form part of the forthcoming court application. Her response, either
way, is expected on Friday 18 May 2018.
6. Please confirm that the court papers may be served on the State Attorney, Pretoria,
and if so which person we need to contact in connection therewith.
Yours faithfully
MABUZA ATTORNEYS
