I just want to explain this to the Committee so that you understand perfectly well.  We were the Matemasu Youth Congress and we engaged in consumer boycotts and we would discuss it among ourselves that we are not going to buy in town for a certain period until our demands are met. What was happening and during this consumer boycott, when people were at work, we would have members of the youth to stand at the gate where we know is a passing point for everybody who was going to town, and we would make it a point that every person who comes from town doesn't have anything in his possession that he has bought in town. Any car that was coming from the town would be stopped and we searched it.  But Mr Morgan Phelane's car and the car belonging to his son, Edward Phelane, they would not stop, even if we requested them to stop. Even a person who wanted to buy would do that freely knowing that he will be given a lift because that car won't be searched.  Mr Phelane knew very well our intentions.
	In other words, Mr Morgan Phelane was not happy at all about our activities.  He was also involved in the politics and he knew very well that consumer boycott was a strategy used by the ANC to cripple the De Klerk Government but himself, Mr Morgan Phelane showed the public that he was against the freedom of the people.
	One day the school kids were marching, they were marching from the school into the township.  I am not sure as to the direction they were marching to, I don't know where they were really going to, I'm sorry.  It happened that as they were marching from the school, his son's car approached, that is Morgan Phelane, and it was driving at a very high speed and it went to the marchers but the children were very careful, they saw it from far away and they managed to jump out of the road because they realised that this car was speeding and there was a possibility that it would never stop. And it was known that the driver of the car was against the song the kids were singing.
	When this gangster heard the slogans or the people toyi-toyi'ing, they would harass the youth and they would start violence and at the end of the slogan there would be fighting. All these activities were done by Mr Phelane's gangster. As the self defence units of Brandfort we also realised that these people are going too far, we have to take a step to counteract what they were doing in the community and truly we came together as the self defence unit and we planned how to kill them.  That is the gangster and including its leadership, like Mr Morgan Phelane.
