According to The Times on the 20th of February 1984, it was Sergeant Faku who was being attacked by a gangster shot these people who were attacking him.  The people who were now running away from him, so according to The Times he was defending himself from gangsters and according to The Times this policeman shot these people at the back which we both know that it is not true, because my brother was shot on the chest.
 And now his clothes were sent to Pretoria, that's what we were told when we wanted to see the evidence that he was really shot from the front or the back.  Now we were told that no his clothes were in Pretoria we can't get them.
 My father went to Court several times, going to Court in connection with this case.  The lawyer in charge of this case who was with my father told my father that - this case was going to be transferred to the Supreme Court.  Now you must wait, now my father waited, and nobody came back to him again with any report.  He was also promised that after he has buried his son he was going to get compensation from the police.  But he never got anything.
 When my father asked his lawyer - asking him how long am I going to wait, the lawyer said - the lawyer said he was scarred himself that no this case is going to be dismissed but he was scared to tell him the actual reason because it seemed that the Government itself wanted the case to be dismissed.  The Government didn't want this case to be announced - to be know by everybody.   So we never got any - anything - we didn't get his clothes, we didn't get anything.
 My father left to the rural areas, we use to live in Cape Town but because of this my father decided to go and leave Cape Town because living in Cape Town was just too painful for him.  After that my mother was ill, nothing was all right at home since then.
