ZONDENI VERONICA SOBUKWE
When I met my husband he was already in the struggle.  He had come to the Victoria Hospital in Lovedale.  As nurses we did not even know about the Youth League.  We were on a strike, because we would do our jobs properly, but we were not properly treated.  We wrote down our complaints, ten of them.  One nurse was told to leave and we said we are all leaving.  We were not members of the Youth League.  They were members of the Youth League. However, the people from Fort Hare would come and help us.  We were told to go home for two months, unpaid leave.  Sobukwe had been  addressing a gathering in Queenstown.  This is from the early years when I had just gotten to know him.  Nothing came to my surprise or shock, because from the day I met him he was in the struggle and he died in the struggle.  Everything was to be expected.  I was not too grieved, in the sense that I expected these things.
