Date
set for 'apartheid' class action - 3 December
Thousands in the Eastern Cape have come forward as complainants
in a multi-billion dollar class action lawsuit against some of
South Africa's top international firms.
The case will be heard before a United States court on January
6.
The US government called on Tuesday for the dismissal of an
appeal by the firms.
Lead attorney John Ngcebetsha, of Ngcebetsha Madlanga attorneys,
told the Daily Dispatch that this followed a recent
letter written by Justice Minister Jeff Radebe for the cases to
be settled out of court. - Dispatch
