And this child of mine was holding me tightly.  Then I covered him with my hands.  They were hitting me from the bed, then I hit the wardrobe.  Because I was saying I am paying here, what is the problem.  They said to me this is not my place.  Then I said I have the number.  Then I said it is No 11.  Then this Kosimang, they light with the torch.  Then the other one pulled a knife.  Then when he held the knife, I fell on my baby, because I said please don't kill me, who is going to take care of my children.
 Then I knelt down.  Then I thought he was going to stab me at the back of my neck.  Then I just said I will just hear where he is going to stab me. Then at the time when he was stabbing, he was stabbing me on the waist.  Then he stabbed me with the knife. I could feel it when it went out.  Then Salty said I brought you here with whom.  Then I said "baas" Salty, I am paying here.  Then he pulled the knife off again.   They stabbed my child on the right leg.  Then they cut off the veins at the back.  Then she said they have KLERKSDORP HEARING TRC/GAUTENG

stabbed me. Then I said just keep quiet. Then he said please keep quiet, you can see how Whites are in here.  Then they were stabbing.  The clothes I was wearing at that time had eight holes.  Then they took the brick and hit me again.  I wanted to see this Black person who was with them.  Then I looked. Then they hit me on the head.  Then my daughter fainted.  Salty then said to me I told you not to be lenient with these people, you should have killed them.  They went out, they said sorry, we were at the wrong number.  As they left I followed them, carrying my child in my hands and I didn't realise that the time that Tomilos' legs were stabbed and the muscle was cut off.  
 I went to the next-door neighbour to call the boys.  I asked them where are you.  they said we are here. I said aren't you injured?  They said no, we are fine. I said please go and call a nurse called Koba to come with a Kombi to take my child to the hospital.  
 When they left they were not running. They didn't have guns with them.  They had knives and plastic batons and they jumped into the next-door shack.    I was still shouting, crying for help. I said people, come and help me, the Whites have killed my child.  I sent my son to the office, that is the child who came back with the police and they took me to their office.  They applied their first-aid and they stitched my child.  They didn't stop the blood that was flowing.  They couldn't even stitch me properly.  They didn't even give us an injection.  (Indistinct) and Johnny were the people taking my statement. I said to them the White people assaulted us.  They said you are lying, where do the Whites come from?  It is the comrades who assaulted you.
 I was taken to the hospital by my in-laws, telling me

that the blood doesn't want to stop flowing.  Then we should better go to the hospital.
 David Letgoto, who is the CID said they had better take me to Motala and Motala would take me to the hospital.  My father took me to Van Rensburg and Van Rensburg didn't want to examine me.  He said I am going to inject her with a fatal injection and my in-law requested Sister Koba to come and pick me up, to transport me to Sepong Hospital.   When I was released from the hospital, I was given the documents.  You know I couldn't stand for quite a long time because of my leg. I have been for treatment now and then.  
 I went to Mogorosi to enquire about the statement I gave them. I told them I am injured and my child was still very little and was also injured, what should I do.  They said nothing, we do not know.  After a week of my discharge from the hospital, a clerk from Ventersdorp, Herman told me to come to town and that he is going to give me R17 000,00.  I should go to town, I will see a grey Cressida and I should come with him to the park. I said to him I cannot walk.  He said try all the means you have, because I want to help you.  I was so scared and I thought he would kill me. I didn't go.   The policeman who took the statement from me, never came to me, even if I go to the police station, nobody gives me any attention.  And I was innocent. I will stop just there.
