As we were not people from the area, there is a custom the visitors have to perform.  For example, if a boy from your area has a girlfriend in the area you are visiting, it is customary for that girl to take care of you.  She has to bring you something to eat or drink, because she regards all of you, visitors,as in-laws.  When we were in the kraal, we were then given some drinks.  After drinking we left the kraal on our way home.  There were five of us.  As we were walking in the path, we saw people in another path.  Although it was late, it was still light.  Because of the intake of drinks, we were singing and were in a very jolly mood.  We then heard these people shouting, asking who were the people making a noise there.  They then started using swearing words, and later said, "Oh, it is these klovas."  Mshengu, my uncle Kikiza and myself then decided to approach these people, to find out from them why they were swearing at us.  These people had fighting sticks, and were very aggressive towards us.  They were in a fighting mood.  My co-accused and my uncle then started stabbing these people.
