How a taxi sheriff says 'tjaila' Just in case Justice Madlanga wasn't convinced, Sibanyoni closed his testimony with a 'quotable quote' fit for a president: 'As the lapsing of chronometer... mine at this present juncture is just to evacuate this arena, leaving you with these few words: See me when I see you, and if you don't, we shall see one another in the near future.
