that place.  Mrs Mkhonto was there with us, Mrs Goniwe was also there, people were very 
full in the house, and I heard the news that the bodies of Sparrow Mkhonto, and Mhlawuli 
have been discovered.  I was wondering what happened to Matthew and Fort.  I went to 
my in-laws to stay with them.  Saturday and Sunday passed.  It was now Monday.  
 On Tuesday afternoon we were about to meet Mr Louis Bosolek who was the 
attorney of the Seso Centre.  Well we met him at Matthew's place.  While he was talking 
to us taking statements, coming to me with Mrs Goniwe he indicated that he wanted 
statements about our late husbands.  We didn't accept the fact of our late husbands, we 
didn't accept the word, late, because we said that that moment we did not know what 
happened to them.
 When I got home, the reverend from my church visited me.  He had come to 
explain that the bodies of Fort and Matthew were found.  
 At that time I had my second child, this child was very close to the father.  After 
hearing this news the child was sick, I was pregnant at the time, I left the child that was 
inside of me, I don't know what happened to me on that day.   An appointment was made 
with the doctor the next day, the thing I did not know was why this appointment was made 
so secretively, but when I arrived there, the security police were already there, just where I 
stepped in.  I did not know if they were going to look at my condition, but she said to me, 
"Sister, you have to clean your face, wipe away the tears and be brave".  And I listened.  
When they saw me they saw a very strong person.  I went to see the doctor and I went 
home thereafter.
