NOTAYINI NOMANGESI GALAWENI
I stayed behind and I didn't want to leave the area. I couldn't leave the area because my husband was a comrade. I worked, I worked at a few houses and they would also give me clothes.  I also received money from Yamile and Ndima, I don't know the third person's name, I don't see him that much.  They said that they should try and get groceries for all those people who had lost their loved ones. I used to receive these groceries. One woman said, who is a white person, said that I should take a letter to the councillors. I took the letter to the councillors that the government should assist me in raising the children.  After seven months, R600,00 arrived.  It was too small.  But I was working as well, just as I am still working now. Nancy, when she was 17, she couldn't receive part of this grant.  I complained. I think she was doing Std 7 at the time.  I asked them shouldn't she continue with her education. I complained but nothing came out of it. I used to get those grants and as well as working, until I got sugar diabetes. I am still working even now.  And the money is too little still.
