BRIAN QUNA MKHIZE
On the night of the date referred to, I was at Gundani Shezi's place, H2 section.  I used to go there sometimes either for information or I would sometimes go there, sit down and drink.
	As I was doing that, as usual, one person by the name of Nmbula said you think we are fools, we don't know what you are.  We know exactly what you are, you cannot fool us.
	You mislead us.  We know how dangerous you are to us, and you make yourself a brave person by coming to our place.  We started arguing, because I, myself, had already taken some few beers and we quarrelled and we ended up fighting literally, by fists.
	He is quite a hefty person, maybe heftier than I am.  He too, was drunk.  The problem started, I had my 9 mm pistol and I saw everybody now coming forward as if they were surrounding me.
	I rushed to withdraw my pistol and everybody had now their hands on my pistol, which was still in my body.  There was a struggle with my gun, which ultimately came out of my holster, and as the barrel of the pistol faced up, I don't know what happened exactly, but there was somebody who pulled the trigger.
	A bullet went off, but fortunately the barrel had faced up.  I would not just let go of my gun like that, and everybody stepped away, frightened by the gunfire.  I took the pistol and threw it to a boy who was called Skedi and I threw the pistol to him.  Skedi received the pistol and I hit Membula with my fist.  He hit me back, I fell face up.
	I picked myself up and I was now fighting with fear because I knew that I was all alone there, all these people were within the same group.  I was hesitant to hit him properly with my fist, because if I did so, I feared I might end up in trouble.
	What annoyed me, what really annoyed me was that I realised that the people who were trying to set us apart, were actually not trying to separate us.  And as I was being separated, they were giving Membula a chance to hit me, which he did.
	I got furious because ... (tape ends) ... I left the place and Gundani made his car available to take me home, and somebody was provided to drive me home.
	There was also a lady with whom we used to have a fling, and I did not want to give them any indication that I was furious.  I was actually so furious about the fact that they were pretending to help and yet they were not.  I now had these bulges, a bulging face and I knew that the person would not beat me if there were two of us.
	On arriving at my place, I spoke to Ali.  He has a green Skyline.  I requested him to take me to J2 to Romeo.  He took me together with this lady who was to be dropped at HY where she resided.
	We went to Romeo's place.  What God in heaven has written is such that it is known that I did not go to Romeo's place to accompany me back so that we can shoot the people.  It is known that every man who gets beaten, can get angry.  I only went to Romeo so that I too can have my own people and Membula already had his own people, and we should be given a chance as men, so that we can fight using our own fists.
	Also I had a chance to shoot Membula at the time, but I took the pistol which was loaded and threw it to Skedi who received it and I proceeded fighting with my fists.
	I did not try to shoot him.   I then arrived at Romeo's place in J2, I knocked, they opened the door.  I then told them about the whole story.  I then asked them to return with me to this place, because I wasn't afraid of this person and he wouldn't really defeat me, but I was also tipsy.
