REUBEN GALLANT
Well as the organiser of the Youth League a Father Punja-Punja came to us and he had a complaint because he rented the little building in a women's backyard and this women evicted him - she told him to leave.  Now the problem was that he'd already paid his rent for the month ahead and the following month.  
So this women told the policemen to come and evict Punja-Punja and when we went to this women to try and find out why she'd evicted the Father and why she wasn't returning his rent, then she said no she wasn't going to speak to us.  She would only speak to Jessie Barnard.   So we went to Jessie Barnard to try and get him to come and tell the women to return  the man's rent and to allow him to stay.  But Barnard didn't want to speak to us and we went to his house and we came back with him.
Now, to get to this women's house, we had to pass the beer hall and when we passed behind the beer hall a policeman, Steve Mbushwa arrived on the scene and he wanted to disperse us.  And we were quite a sizeable group together and we were singing and walking passed the beer hall and then the sort of roughly intervene and tried to - to disperse us.  And some of us said  No, you can't do this, you must rather talk to us.  And that is when he started shooting at us and we - we threw stones at him and he ran away and we also ran away - we dispersed.  And Jessie Barnard - Steve Mbushwa then went home.
