MR METSING
I was from town, I had been sent to town on a Saturday.  I think it was approximately between - past 10, something to 11.  And I saw these blou doeks near the shanty town, where my aunt was staying.  They called me and I went to them and they said   You've been silly for a long time.  And the one blou doek by the name of Vilapue was fat, said that I had been silly for a long time and I said  What had I done?  And he said  You have been silly for a long time.  Don't give us a hard time.  Just don't be silly.  I just said  Look, I haven't done anything.  And they asked me - they said  If Skonkwani doesn't shoot you, we - you - I'm going to shoot you.   
And I left.  When I got home I left the things and went forward. When I got to a certain place I saw Skonkwani and I was shot and when I looked I saw that Skonkwani was shooting me and he shot me on my back.  When I wanted to run away, I fell and when I got up he  - tried to get up again he shot me a second time.  And these are pellets that spread when they strike you. 
And James Diamond and Banana picked me up and took me to the hospital.  I was admitted to hospital and stayed there for 6 days - I think it was about 6 days for which I lay there - before I was sent to Tygerberg Hospital, in Cape Town.   
I came back in January - I think it was early in January - I know that I spent my new years day here at home.  When I came back from hospital, I saw James Diamond and a attorney coming to my place who was - the attorney was Matxharbey.
Matxharbey  then proceeded with my case  here in Beaufort West and the trial continued. I think it started in 1991 - 1991 or 1989 - I'm not sure.  And everything continued  and we then had to go to the Supreme   Court in Cape Town.  I'm not to sure which court it was, but it was in Cape Town. 
When we got there, everything - as far as my claims - was sorted out and I was told that I would get my money after 3 weeks.  I waited for 3 weeks for my money and I think in 1992 I borrowed money from this attorney and he gave me 
R6,420-00.  I didn't receive any other money after that,  that was the only money he gave me.  I think he said that that was my claim. And I assumed that was it because I don't see any other money forthcoming.
