MOLESENG ANNA TIRO
I greet you all, my elders.  I thank you that I am here today after so many years that have gone by.   I can actually relate the story from the day I started sending my child to school.  He was at school and thereafter he went to further his studies at Turfloop.  He completed three years and in his fourth year he graduated and I was called to attend the ceremony. After the function at the hall I was asked to make a vote of thanks.  Well I read the vote of thanks that he wrote.
 On that same day, the afternoon I went back home.  I was staying here in Gauteng.  Three days or even four days passed and I saw him coming home and he said I am expelled from school.  I said to him why?  He said I was reading a speech and they expelled me.  I don't know English, I don't know what happened I only gathered information from him.
 Well we departed.  He stayed at home for a few days.  I think it was a month. He was in Soweto.  He said Mr Matabata hired me.  I am going to work together with him in Morris Isaacson and he went to work.  I think he worked a few months there.  It wasn't even a year.  The school closed and they reopened and I saw him coming home.  He was together with another one, it was his companion that I don't know and he said to me Mamma they expelled me again from school.  And I asked him again why have you been expelled?  No they just said I should get out of the school, I will teach my fellow schoolmates wrong information.  That was the last day I saw my son.  I never saw him again.  I didn't hear anything about him.  I don't know where he stayed because he was being sought by the police around Soweto.  I didn't see him, even his grandmother didn't see him.
 Well it was up to 1973, it was the end, I think it was
