It was in 1990 when the ANC was unbanned.  As the residents of Ndakana we organised that the African National Congress rise up.  There was a Resident Association, SANCO.  We, as the SANCO members, tried to mobilise the ANC branches around the area.  We succeeded in raising these structures of the ANC in our area.  We were confident that we were progressive.  We were fighting for liberation.  We, our desire was that we have a contribution to the struggle for liberation in this country.
 In 1992 there was a march from town to Bisho.  We managed to escape the shootings at Bisho.  When I got home I realised that it was not well.  Nothing happened that day however.  I think the Wednesday passed on peacefully.  On the Thursday, two am, I was not staying at home at the time, because of the oppressive ways of the Xhosa regime.  They would come at any time intimidating us looking for ANC members.  I left home, I could not sleep at home.  I was seldom home.  I would have to lock the door so that people thought that I was not there even if I was sleeping inside.  The police would come.  At the time we did not have meetings anymore as leaders.  If we held a meeting the police would come and disrupt.  They wanted leaders, especially, of the meetings.  If I had come out I would be harassed.  I could see that the police had a lot of anger and bitterness, because we were members of the ANC and we were active.
