whole body because there is no woman among us.  Then they told us that it is not then procedure that we should see the whole body.  Then I told them that I want to verify because I have some questions.  Then I told them that I am outside and he is inside, how can I see him clearly.  Then they said that is not the procedure.  They said I should go and look for a doctor and then I should come back with a doctor.  We went back to look for a doctor.  We came the following day.  When we arrived with a doctor the doctor didn't go with us, he just alighted the car and get a different direction.  And when he came back when we were in Sergeant Makiba's office then the doctor just informed us that he has seen him, he has hanged himself.  Then we questioned the doctor how, because he accompanied us, and he is the one who should accompany us to the corpse so as we should tell him, "This is the person we want you to see."  He just said,"He hanged himself," and then said, "There is nothing I can do," then he left.  And then we see this thing is disturbing us.  Then they said, "If you are still doubtful we will take you to the hall and then we will show you the legs, that you should just come a little bit closer and look closely and see as to whether that's your real son."  He was still covered with that white cloth.  Then I said to them why don't they uncover the body and be left only with the trouser or the underwear.  Then they told me that that is not the procedure.  Then Comrade Motsabi and Comrade Sakalo said that because I only see the face and the legs we should just leave everything, we will fight for it later, that I should only sign that he is the one and then I should leave many issues, because we were able to see that they  are afraid of something.  Then I signed.  Then on the 5th of January then we buried him.  Before we buried him we took him to the mortuary.  When I went back to see him I was able to see him.  He was chopped in front and at the back.  I showed the comrades who went with him that this person, how is he cut, these people were removing something?  He was cut open, and then he is bleeding.  Maybe this person has been shot or something.  That was the time when we were preparing for his funeral.  Then they said we have no time to go back as we have already signed.  That's the thing they were running away from.  We buried him.  We buried him on the 5th of January 1991.  After that they sent me a letter for an inquest in Bloemfontein.  I didn't go to Bloemfontein ... (inaudible) ... the notice of the inquest to the offices of the ANC that they have sent me a notice of the inquest.  They took that inquest and sent it to the lawyer, Venter, who was working at Cooper & Sons.  They sent me a letter that they are going to make investigations first, then they will tell me after the investigations.  Since that time they said they are going to make investigations up to now I don't know the reasons behind my son's death.
