If the court classifies certain evidence as hearsay, such evidence will no longer be hearsay

if the person upon whose credibility the probative value of the evidence depends, testifies in

the course of the proceedings.

(b)

The main reason for the inadmissibility of hearsay is that the witness who gives the hearsay

evidence cannot guarantee its reliability.

(c)

Hearsay evidence consists of oral evidence that a witness previously heard and wants to

testify about in court. Hearsay can therefore never be in a written form.

(d)

If a witness testifies that a person, (who is not a witness before the court), made a statement

to him or her, but this evidence is not aimed at proving the truth of the statement, the

evidence is not hearsay evidence.
