NDOYISELE ELIAS BUSAKWE
We were in a mass meeting on the 21st July 1991.  The mass meeting was jointly organised by the ANC and the Civic Association.  The main points that were to be discussed in the mass meeting was the crime that was taking high stands in the township.  I was one of the key speakers of the day.  During the proceeding of the meeting a report came in, that is the report as to what the deceased did to another woman who was a member of the ANC Women's League.  As a Chief Marshall I took out an order to the marshalls that were present at the mass meeting that they should rush to the place of the scene.  It is true they left and when they came back they came back with the deceased and they said he was the perpetrator.  Because we knew him as the

leader of the gangsters called Kofifi.  They brought him back.  When he arrived at the mass meeting we wanted to know from the comrades who brought him back as to what happened actually and they requested the deceased to tell the story himself and he explained what happened on that day with that woman.  After his explanation, because I was in the leadership, we took a decision that the deceased should be taken to the police station.  Many people in the mass meeting, after listening to his story, there was now a division among the people present at the meeting, especially the women.   That is where we saw angry women, demanding that he should be killed.  We pleaded as the leadership that the police should be given the last chance with regard to this deceased.  It was a continuous strike and the position was that he should be taken direct to the police station.
There were marshalls elected to escort the deceased to the police station.  About five minutes after they have left we heard a gunshot and when we heard this gunshot people dispersed and many of them ran towards the direction of the gunshot.  We ran towards that direction also and when we arrived we found the deceased lying on the ground.  He was being stoned, he was being stabbed with knives and when I arrived, together with Comrade Buda Diamond, we appealed to the people who were killing and assaulting this person.  We said, stop it, but unfortunately when we arrived he was already dead.  Because I, together with comrade, picked him up from the ground and when we tried to pick him up that is when  Richard Faunda arrived and he had an iron bar in his hand and he hit him on the head and that was the end of the deceased.  We put him on the floor and another woman came with a rag and a blanket and we put it over to the deceased.

After doing that, one of the accused, Mr Solomon Lekitlana, came with petrol and he poured the deceased with petrol and I rushed to him and I stopped him not to carry on with that action because the person was already dead.    (NOISE)
