LAURENS MBATHA
Myself and Walter Smiles.  It was during the process of the march, because the concentration and the spirit of the march was towards the destiny of the Trust Bank building where the Bop Consulate was.  The concentration of the people were there, they could not notice and exactly realise what I was doing at that time.  Smiles was just next to me and we were part of the marchers.  It was at that time when I told Smiles and those were my instructions, that as soon as we reach the Trust Bank building, after the last memorandum has been submitted and the marchers moving away, you must throw that hand grenade right into that sliding door.  That was my instructions to Smiles.
	We proceeded with the march.  I parted with him, I went to the forefront up until we reached this Trust Bank building.  I remember during the last memorandum there was an exchange of words that were coming up from the marchers at that stage and we were still standing in front.  One of the comrades, who were senior in the march, came in front, calmed them down, they must calm down, because they were preparing to move away.  It was at that time when Smiles threw the grenade, but just at the verge of the door, I might not know his name, he is a security officer, but it is a private company, came out of the door and he was struck by that grenade right in his face.  
	The grenade, actually, fell off right into the corner, where I should say today, it is where the deceased, Ezekiel Mokone was standing and it exploded from there.  The whole situation was very pathetic and a very chaotic one after the explosion.  Members of Cosas and the League became victims of that blast including their leadership.  When the explosion took off, everybody was running all over the direction.  We ran back to the office and I came back with the Bakkie.  The victims, we took them immediately over to Kimberley Hospital and at that time Smiles, I think, was still at the ANC office, if I am not sure.  
	The reason why it became chaotic is that the situation turned out not as planned and expected mainly because of the grenade, actually, strike the security guard in the face and it went back where the deceased was standing, of which that was not intention and it resulted in the death of the deceased, Ezekiel Mokone.
