I remember on coming back that day, it was on the 6th of January, and as we went into Bellville( I had R1,00 in my pocket) and there was a boy selling newspapers on the corner. And as this car was standing at the robots, I still wanted to buy this newspaper, the Cape Times.
     And then I checked myself again and I said," Bongi" (that is my daughter), I said to her " I am going to keep this R1,00. I am not going to buy this paper after all ,in case  when we get home there is no bread. Then I can buy you some bread with this R1,00."
     And then we went home, and only when we got home I found my younger sister there who stays out in Hammanskraal now. Then when she saw me, she sort of got a shock. I don't think that they were expecting me home that day, because I went up with a lift and came back home again with a lift.
     And then she said, "Ooh! I don't know where the aunties are of the street".  I said," Why?"  And then she said, "No, they said when you get home I must call them so they could be here when you get home".  I said,  "Now, what is wrong?"  So - no, then she ran out and then she came back with these people and then it was only then that I heard that my husband was missing since the 26th of December.  This was now the 6th of January and nobody knew where he was and... and they'd been looking all over for him and they couldn't find him in the mortuaries, in the hospitals... and that was that.
     And then I remember later that evening my mother-in-law came with my brother-in-law Les, and they had the same newspaper that I nearly bought in Bellville and my husband's picture was in the front page of that newspaper.
