Yes.  In.  I arrived in Nochga in 1992.  Being an ex-Trankeian, and I say that, because when the Independence of Transkei or Transkei became Independent in 1976, people like us were sort of left without a home.  We were actually made, or we became, how could I say, refugees in our own country.  So, I went back to Nochga in 1992 with the intention of re-establishing my roots in the country of my birth.  I leased the shop from a Mr Nxangele, who at the time was in detention in connection or so-called connection with a coup in the Transkei, so I had to actually go to the Court to get him to sign our Lease and I leased Nochga Cash Store and began trading in approximately August 1992.   We did very well.  Our turnover by that December was in the region of R200 000-00 for that month, which you know if you put a station that is 4 months old, would show you that we had lots of support and were well liked by the Community.  People knew my father.  People knew our heritage and we were welcomed back in the Community with open arms.
