No, up until today we do not know where he is.  Michael left while I had just operated.  I had three operations.  Now I have eight operations, but up until today we never found Michael.  I looked for him everywhere from time to time, but we got disappointed, because we hoped that where he was he may be safe.  Although we were not aware of whether he belonged to any organisation, we just heard that he was active in politics.  Mr Mabotho and his wife came to my home, because their son left with Michael.  When others, when other children came back to this country we hoped to see Michael, but we never saw him.
 I went to ANC offices complaining that my son is not coming back.  I asked the ANC office to look for him.  They gave me another date to come back.  I then came back.  I met one man, but I do not remember his surname.  His name was Galikie, Yoyong Galikie.  He said that he was going to phone Johannesburg so that they can check Michael in their computer.  I said that in 1976 there were no computers.  Michael left in 1976.  He said that they have a list of the people who left this country.  He phoned Johannesburg.  He was told that his name was not in that list.  He advised me to go to other organisations, to PAC in King William's Town.
 I went to King William's Town.  When I got to the PAC office I was told to come the following day so that I can meet with Mr Maklaka who was their leader.  I met Mr Mfaka.  I arrived at the office in the morning and Mr Maklaka came in in the afternoon.  I told him my story that I lost my son.  I gave him my name and my particulars.  This man said that we are going to try.  He asked whether my child had an ID book.  I said yes.  I would like to apologise to my husband, because I stole this ID book from him.  He would ask me where Michael's ID book was.  I would say that I do not know.  Mr Mfaka wanted this ID book and I stole it from my husband.  I took it to Mr Mfaka in King William's Town.  
 He said that there are, that ID book would help them to find Michael.  I left it there.  I would like you to forgive me, because I have thought about certain information after I have given out my statement.  When I was about to go out Mr Mfaka said that, Mam, most of the children died.  Some of the drowned in the river.  At that time he was pushing me outside.  He said that maybe your child was there.  He died outside the country.  I cried and this other woman, we were crying for our children.  Even if I see a police van or if I see soldiers I would cry.  I took a taxi back home.
