TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  Amabutho are the people who are armed, armed to go to the battle.  When people are armed they arm themselves with weapons.  It could be spears, it could be axes, and also guns, because now people are fighting with guns as well.  They usually are male, because women are never usually there, and even on that day there were no women, there were only men. Dumisani, according to the Natal speak(?) do you think these amabutho are another political organisation?  ---   Yes, I do believe that, that they are part of a political organisation.
