In
the matter between:
THANDO
WILLIAM
DLAMINI
Plaintiff
and
THE
MINISTER OF
POLICE
Defendant
JUDGMENT
WRIGHT J
[1]
The matter is not ready to proceed.
[2]
The defendant needs to amend the special
plea and may want to amend the main plea.
[3]
There is a partly heard criminal trial
pending which is very closely related to the present case.
[4]
The plaintiff never took any steps to
except to the plea or raise with the defendant the question of the
special plea.
[5]
In the circumstances, by agreement, the
matter is to be postponed sine die.
[6]
On the question of costs, there are too
many variables and fingers are pointed in both directions.
[7]
It would be unwise to attempt now to
apportion blame for the lack of readiness.
Order
[1]
Sine die, costs
reserved.
