VELISILE LOPY TOYI
No that is not all, Mr Sandi.  When the case failed in the hands of Mr Sandi I went to the Legal Resource Centre and they told me to write to the Law Society and state what happened to my matter and they responded, I wrote to the Law Society after five years and they responded by saying that my file would not be able to be traced after five years and I then left the matter.
 I then came to the Legal Aid Clinic and stated my case and I was assisted by an elderly man who listened to my story and said, look, we would advise you to just let this case go, because it is an old matter.  If it was approximately three years old you could have had a chance.  I said to him, look, if a woman had shot me I would have let the matter be, but a man shot me and I am going to retaliate if I see him anywhere.  From there I tried to deal with this and last year I came back to the Legal Resource Centre where I met a young man who advised me to go back to the Law Society.  I told him that I had written to the Law Society and he then said I am afraid we will not be able to do anything for you, because the matter is quite old and I said, look, as men, if you assault me I am going to retaliate at some stage or another in whatever way.  He said to me you will be arrested and I said you will be the witness.
