What hurt me most was when I saw my mother, when I was alighting the steps and I realized that she was my mother. They had hand-cuffed me from behind and they pushed me and I had fell through the steps and fell next to my mum. What is important now is that, by that time my future was really wasted, because I couldn't be what I had promised my parents.
 What hurt me most is that when I had to return to school, even those teachers who supported those  people didn't want us in school. What I am worried the most is that when I had made a promise to someone I want to fulfil it, and by now my father is dead.
  Presently I have only my mother, who is paralysed, she is on a wheel-chair. I want to end by saying, I will ask the then government to come and ask for forgiveness from us because they really messed up our future. I want them to come and appear before you so that they can speak for themselves.
  I did not want to work as an industrial worker, I wanted to help the community. I was intending to help the community with my profession, not to be a security or a guard to the community. I want the then government to come and appear before you and you should also call us that is the victims. I remember one was the secretary of the Bantu Education, he was Mr Brozidsky. If he is still alive I would like him to appear before you and before us to ask for forgiveness for what he did to us. (tape ends)
..... to ask for forgiveness and then I myself would also tell him that I forgive him, if he could that. Presently it is difficult, because Sergeant Mogobe is dead, maybe he hears me where he is, because he can't speak, but I forgive him if at all he can hear me, but the then government,  I think has to appear before us and you to come and ask for forgiveness, then I think my wounds would be healed. I will end off there.
