MR MATELA
In those days it seemed that people's lives were in danger and there were these group called the Russians who were holding meetings with the police and
sometimes people will just come and we would hear that there were people who were being attacked in the township, and that is when we went to the ANC office to explain this and the decision was taken to go to the police station so that the police should patrol.  But the policemen refused to protect the people and therefore the ANC took the decision that we should go and protect the community.
