MOLESENG ANNA TIRO
in October 1973 I heard that his aunt saw him somewhere.  He saw someone who is our neighbour at home and he received a letter.  He said I am from Botswana.   I saw Ngopotsi there.  He said I should give you this letter.  His aunt took the letter and he said aunt I am here, I am in exile.  But I must say throughout his aunt was not in a good position to tell where he is.  I was at home Nduyangana myself. 
 Well after reading the letter she went into Botswana without any passport and she found him there.  She stayed with him two days and she came back.  While she arrived from Botswana she found my second daughter and she said to her your mom is sick.  I think it was on a Thursday when they came back home.  On Friday she went further to come and tell me that she saw the son in Botswana.  Well in those days we used to travel by train.  I think it was on a Saturday afternoon she went to Soweto.  In Soweto she overnighted there.  On Sunday morning I didn't see the aunt.  We got a message that Omgepotsi is now dead.  His aunt was now troubled.  They were still in Soweto and I was in Parktown North.  They searched for me on that day and they couldn't find me.  They only saw me that night.  They said to me your son is dead.  He tried to open a parcel and the parcel killed him.
 From there I took initiatives to go to Botswana.  I saw my son in pieces.  The police from Botswana helped me a lot.  They gathered all the pieces, only a few pieces were left there and they took that to the mortuary.  
 Now I wanted to make arrangements for his funeral.  We were a family together planning all the funeral arrangements and we asked the South African Government to give us permission to transport him to South Africa to bring him
