No, it was not an organised response.  No one knew that that was going happen.  At the time Alexandra was just organising itself into street committees, block committees and yard committees.  And when the funeral occurred people want to give their last respects and they were provoked by the police by tear-gassing them and that anger therefore provoked the situation.  It was not planned and no one had really planned for it.  We never knew that it was going to happen.
