ADV POTGIETER
Good, you have waited a while to get your change to give your testimony.  I thank you  for your patience.  As Mary had indicated, yet again your story takes us to that era when the kitskonstabels were operating in the township in Beaufort West .  The incidents had happened as Joyce Seroke has indicated this morning between about May/June of 1987 to about the  beginning of 1988.  And your story again relates to that period and you are also one of those people who  fell victim in that - in that era.
 But before we get to the shooting incident, involving the kitskonstabels, your story starts a bit earlier than that, it starts at the time when you were still schooling in 1985.  So can I ask you to start at that stage when you were still at school in 1985 and then take us through to the actual shooting incident where you  were injured.
 So would you start by - by telling us about the situation when you were still at school.
