TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  Shabani was a reverend.  He came to my place whilst he was preaching in our area and my husband gave him a piece of land so that he could plant his own.  So Shabani said he did not want my land.  He only wanted the portion that was given to him.  He did not want the rest of the land and Shabani reiterated his statement that the part of land that was given to  him by Msweli was quite enough.  He didn't want to take any more of Msweli's land.  Then I went to Ngwelezana to report the matter.  I went to the Home Affairs Department together with him, the reverend, and I reported the matter.  The reverend told them at Home Affairs that he did not want to take my husband's land and they chased me and said I shouldn't come back with this matter.  They sent summonses several times and the third time I took the summonses to Ngwelezana.   We were called to Ngwelezana so that we would reach a settlement as to our argument.  There was the chief as well as the induna and the magistrate said I should address the court.  The magistrate asked as to where the chief was coming from and where he got the authority to allocate people's land.  It was a white magistrate who was presiding over the case.  Then the induna said I had a very big place.  I said to him I was not speaking to him, I was speaking to the chief and I wanted to asked the chief as to how do they plan to take my land whilst I was ploughing on my land and I had planted my land.  I was farming on it.  And I told the chief to go and look at my place and decide whether I was not using the land.  Then, if I was not using the land, it should be given to other people.  The magistrate reiterated that and said he will send someone to go and check whether I was using the land fruitfully and the matter was thought to be resolved and when we went out of the court, I had planted mealies in the field and I had planted all sorts of vegetables.  I was really working on that field.  Then after this was supposedly resolved we were at home one day and we saw a group of people coming.  They took  out a document which they were reading.  I said to them they must give me that document so that I could read it by myself.  They said they were sent by the chief.  They said they were the chief's police and they came.  They were heavily armed and they said they were sent by the induna.  They said they had come to undo the fence that was around my field.  I went to KwaMbonambi and I called another boy from the Shandu family to accompany me.  We went to KwaMbonambi and the police asked me as to whether we had fought.  I told them that the people were heavily armed.  I couldn't have fought with them.  I had just come to report the matter.  And they also had guns at that time.  And I went to KwaMbonambi.  When I got to KwaMbonambi and related the story, they said to me if we had fought or we had had a problem or somebody was injured they could have come but now that there was nothing going on, they did not attack me, they did not kill anyone, so they couldn't come.  They sent me to Ngwelezana.  When I came back, I found that they had undone the fence and they had taken out the poles that support the fence and they went to throw the fence at my place and my plants were exposed to animals such as cattle.
