I would like the Commission to help us, because e we are struggling with my family.  We are targets, when there are electricity problems, we are the first ... (end of tape) ... in the same boat and we are unable to assist each other.  If for instance there is a knock at my door, it won't be and I will learn that the same thing has happened to her.  All the Boers have done the same thing.  What they did to me they were doing to Mrs Hashe because we are neighbours.  So I request and appeal to the Commission that they should be able to support us, to give assistance

we cannot even make lives of our children to be enjoyable. At least we'd like to enjoy the same standard of living as the majority of the people.
 God is still with us and he is supporting us in his own way, but we'd like at least to be assisted like any other family to grow together with our children and in a dignified manner.  The doors are still cracked because we struggle to have money.  My house was a target, they would kick everything out of place. Kick windows.  In the morning the children, or even during the night the children would wake up and see a lot of light, torches and everybody was going around our house and I'm referring to the police if I talk about this.  I would the people to understand how we feel and I would like the Commission to assist in this regard.
