MANDLINKOSI ENOCH GITAM MNISI
I was also sick.  Mtunzi came at about 12 midnight.  He told me that Obed was shot next to the disco.  I woke up and I went to look for a gentleman who had a car and he took me to the hospital.
	When I went into the hospital he was asleep.  The nurses were stitching him and I asked him what happened.  Obed said: "They shot me".   He said he was shot by Bongani and I asked the reasons, he said he didn't know, he started crying and I started crying also.  
	The nurses told me not to cry because the bullets were not embedded in the body, they were just on the flesh but he bled profusely.  They inserted a drip.  We went to the ward, ward number 7 and we undressed him and he put some pyjamas.  He told me that he was hungry and I told him that it was already late, the shops were all closed because it was a quarter to two.
	I promised him that the following day I would bring him some food but he insisted.  I told him he must wait until the following day.  When I was at the door on my way out I sat down.  I sat there.  
	An old man came but I didn't know who he was.  He was fat and short.  He came and he was driving in a grey car.  He asked me where Obed was.  He said he was looking for Obed.  I didn't respond, I kept quiet.  I became afraid.  It was about 2 o'clock, 2a.m.  We were afraid to go home and we decided to stay there until early in the morning because I didn't trust this man.
	We left, we went to the graveyard.  We went to an, we went up, we went through the graveyard.  I went home and I told my mother what happened.  I woke up early in the morning and I said I was in a hurry.  I wanted to go to my work to tell my bosses that my son was in hospital. 
	When I arrived there at my work my bosses were not there.  There was only a child there.  I told them that I'm only going to do the washing because I wanted to go to the hospital.  I went to the hospital.  I brought chips, milk and bread for Obed.  When I went into the hospital I went into his ward.  I found the people waiting there, waiting for the nurses because they wanted to be discharged. 
	I went past those people and went straight to his ward.  The other people were crying inside the ward and I asked the other patients who were there, I asked them about Obed's whereabouts and they asked me if I was related to him.  I told that I'm his mother but they said to me: "We won't tell you anything, you better go and ask the nurses".
	I went to the nurses and I asked them.  The nurses kept quiet.  I asked again and they kept quiet and I asked again and they said I must come in.  They asked me about my relation to Obed.  I told them that Obed was my son.  I was very worried.  The people were still waiting.  They wanted to be discharged because they said they wanted to die in their own homes.  
	The nurses told me that Obed passed away and I asked the reason.  They said he just died but I said that is not possible.  They said he bled, that's why he passed away.  I started crying and I got some water to drink and they gave me some tablets.  From there I went straight home.
