As I mentioned earlier on, the IFP would arrive day and night, steal stock and burn people's homes down.  We had devised a programme that during the daylight, we would just walk around in the areas, just checking what is going on, and if everything is okay.
	After the Macubeni incident where sheep were stolen, in fact his cattle, everything was stolen, I and a person called Tim, went to that area just to check what was going on.  We did not have any firearms on us.
	As we were walking around and we were on top of a hill, we saw two persons and when we looked at them closely, we could not identify them.
	I asked them who they were because they were a distance away.  Where we were standing, there was a gumtree forest.  These people did not respond, they started shooting and when they did this, we actually ran and hid behind the trees and they fled.
	We chased after them for a few paces, and we returned because we did not have any firearms on us.  We were just trying to frighten them.
	When we returned, we were walking along the road, and we met Pat Mbakazi.  He was in a blue or navy Golf and he stopped and he said he was looking for us, because he had heard that we were in that area.
	I then told him that we had just been shot at by two persons who had fled, and I pointed the direction in which they fled.  And then he got into the car, and took a road into the left.  We went into the forest.
	We heard the car speeding off and we went back and went home.  When we arrived, we just sat around at home and we did not see them.  After a while he told us that he had caught them.
	He did not mention that he had shot at them, but our intention was that because they had shot at us, if we catch them, we would shoot at them too.
	After a few days, in fact the following day, I heard on the radio that three people had been killed in that area.  I then assumed that it must be the same people, who had actually shot at us because when he told us the story, he actually admitted that he had caught up with them.  That is why I have applied for amnesty.
