TESTIMONY_GIVER:
Yes, it did. It's true, because we used to share the childrenduring the holidays. We were in joint custody. At times they would go to Soweto,at times they would visit Kroonstad. I am saying this because I was not awarethat my husband was accusing me of being the killer of my daughter. He toldme that he had asked me to take the children to Kroonstad during December holidays,but I refused, I said I wanted to stay with my children during the holidays.During the holidays they would go to his mother's place, as well as to my mother'splace, alternatively. When my child died he blamed me for the death of my daughterbecause I had refused to allow my children to go to Kroonstad. I feel had Iallowed them to go to Kroonstad probably my child wouldn't have died, so eachtime he used to accused me and say Joe Mamasela and myself have killed his child.I asked him how could I give birth to a child and then kill the very same child.There came a time when I felt these accusations were quite unfounded, and weargued a lot. We realised that the relationship was getting sour by the day.We decided that we should part ways. We divorced in 1991.
