ELIZABETH NOTHEMBILE HASHE
I would like to express my feelings but I am unable to do so.  But I can just mention that I would like the Commission to empathise with me and understand what I have felt at the time and I know that there are many facts that I have left out, but I presume that they know some of the facts and they are able to sift and reconsider what

might have happened to me.  I am now out of my mind a bit and I feel so particularly affected by what is happening.  I do not know how I can express my feelings.  I've tried my best what I want to do, but really, because of what I've experienced, I am so affected and I am unable to state exactly what, think of the situation that I have been in, please, let my family be compensated. And one of my children was still at school but had to discontinue because I do not have money. I was a bread winner but with meagre pay, I couldn't do anything.  
 The honourable minister, Steve Tchwete, tried to assist me but I was a person who never wanted to be dependant on anyone else, not that I don't trust anybody, it's just that I'm proud and I'd like to do the best for my children.  I'm in this problem, I'm emotionally upset by what has happened and I really do not know what I can say and I really want their assistance, really the Commission should sympathise with me.  I'm very much affected by all this.  It is my plea, really my plea that I should really, I don't even want it now, really I'd like people to understand.  I'll even go to the enemy and ask for help because I am unable to do some of the things for myself.  I believe that even if a person is my enemy, he will assist me because I'm in this situation because of what had happened.  I'm very glad that I could be here in this Commission and people should know what happened in the past.
 Dr Boraine assisted me, gave me support, I was very glad (end of first side of tape)
(begin next side of tape) he gave his best, and our children are exposed so emotionally and I'm really frustrated about my situation. I don't want to cry, really I don't want to cry EAST LONDON  HEARING TRC/EASTERN CAPE

but I'd like the Commission to help me.
