MAGOME FREDDIE TLADI
As we were going there to Mrs Baphela's place, it was after six o'clock.  When we arrived, some members of the crowd entered the house and others surrounded the house.  We were together with her last born son, then we asked him to go and call his mother.  He entered the house and called his mother, his mother was with his father.  His parents came out, his mother and his father and when he came out, he had an axe in his hand and his father instructed him to leave that axe so that we could listen to what these people wanted.  I also encouraged him to leave that axe.
	I made it clear to him that there is nothing that he could do to that people because there were so many people in that yard.  He came with his parents, his mother and his father.  I was with them in front of the house, the four of us.  It was myself and Mrs Bathule Baphela, her son and Mr Baphela, the senior.   We were facing the crowd.
	Mr Baphela, before he could ask any questions, I asked them why have they come here because they are now frightening the family.  I wanted to know why are they not saying anything to him.  That is when they started telling me that they came here because of witchcraft and then he asked them who was a witch.  They told him that his wife was a witch.
	He told the crowd that because he was not always at home, he was working elsewhere, "I ask for forgiveness" and soon thereafter chaos ensued, they started throwing stones and Mr Baphela was also struck by a knopkierie, I could not see who struck him with the knopkierie.  It was all chaos in the yard because people were throwing stones.  I almost injured myself because I was standing with them.
