When our meetings were disrupted the police would say that they had been called by this family, the Sandile family, the headman, because, apparently, we had called meetings that had nothing to do with the Government of the day.  The soldiers were patrolling at that time, were based at the headman's home.  There was a house that had a double storey.  The soldiers stayed upstairs.  There were a lot of soldiers that stayed there.  I cannot, I could not even count them.  We thought that that could be their base.  There is another reason why I could not stay at home.  Before my house was burnt down I slept under my truck, because I was hiding away from the police.  About eight men came to my home.  The one passed next to me.  They had tracksuits on that I thought were tracksuits that belonged to the Ciskeian police.  They tried to kick down my house, the door into my house.  I think that they got information that I would sleep at home at times even though there would be a padlock outside the door.
 The Ciskeian soldiers, the Ciskeian police, the police force, the so-called police force, these people were the reasons why I could not stay at home, because they would come searching for me.  They would shoot at people at night in the village.  Nobody was happy.  Nobody could live peacefully.
