LINDILE WATSON KOLISI
His mother was alive at the time and he would mention it to his mother, but he would not say that to me, because he knew that I was very strict when it came to his school education.  I would have said to him that he was still too young to participate in politics and he would say to me, dad, I prefer to die for my country, for the liberation of my country.  His mother would agree with him and say, leave the child, if he feels this way, let it be.  When he left he said, mum, I am leaving.  We are very oppressed in this country and we are battling here at home and the Boers are oppressing us like you will not believe, but I am going to come back and when I get back you will have everything.  That is what he said to his mother.
