REPORTABLE: No 2. OF INTEREST TO OTHER JUDGES:  No 3. REVISED 21 May 2024 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.
