an island, together with Nanamso Njobe.  We left South Africa in September 1980 after we had vowed never to return to Fort Hare again.  We went to Lesotho.  We met Comrade Chris Hani, Thosa Mile Botha and Comrade Ace,  We were eager to join the armed struggle, Mkhonto we Sizwe, Comrade Chris told us to first try and build the underground in the Eastern Cape because our underground in the Eastern Cape was very weak.  We received basic military training in Lesotho, this enabled us to go on missions in and out of the country. Sizwe, after coming back from mission which was in June 1981, said to me there are there are three persons who matter in his life.  I asked him who those persons were, he said, it was his mother, his sister Lindiwe and his girlfriend Norwi Chicken.
