SULLIVAN P MOLOKOANE
In 1986, soon after these guys had met their fateful death Vaku's mum use to frequent my home at Laki, but the way she was doing it, she was overdoing it and it was a sensitive period then and she use to like crowd us, I would put it that way up until a certain stage whereby my mum said, you know, I think you better stop coming here, because we were not happy with the account of events that she was presenting to us.  I mean her son survived, her son survived and our sons are dead, but she kept coming, but we could not really understand why was she coming.  My mum could just pick up something that she does not like the old lady, but now in terms of mam asking me whether we have initiated a meeting with Vaku now of late, we have not.  However, what I can say next to our home there is a youngster who is also at Walmasdal.  He once informed us he was with Vaku.  Vaku was coming to deliver him at his home with the other soldiers and then he said to Vaku Comrade Barney stays next door.  That is where Comrade Barney use to say.  I mean, really, really if we are to exercise our ubuntu this guy should have either went to my home, to my mum's place, knocked and said, hi mama, here I am.  Since we last parted with Barney, parted our ways during that botched up operation at Piet Retief.  I mean, it does not mean Vaku does not know where we stay, but, mam, we have not tried to try and look for Vaku, because we are very sceptical that we will ever get a fair account of events on his side.  That is my suspicion.  I do not know what my, the old lady has to say, because we are also in the same boat.
