FUNDISELE GULENI
What happened was this, as I was going to Umtata as a District Co-ordinator, to a meeting of the District Co-ordinators of the ANC, I was employed at the time, as I was hitch-hiking, I was attacked by the members and when I looked at them, to me they looked more like APLA members because they were in the company of Mr Mposelwa.  They attacked me there at Bantu, but I managed to run away, or escape.   I escaped without injuries.  As I was still taking cover, then on the bushes, next to the place where I was attacked, I was saved by two soldiers and I remember there was Hermans who was also in Port St Johns, they were coming from the meeting in Umtata.  He signalled to me, to lay down, because it looked like it was still bad for me to get out of the bushes.   The people, I heard people crying who were watching this incident.   After a long time, when I stood up, he made a signal to me to come to him and he asked me as to what was happening.  I told him that I know nothing, but I was just attacked, and at that time, I was coming out of mud and I had only one shoe and I got into his car and he took me to Mr Mfeketho who was a Chairperson of the ANC at the time, and I told him about this incident and a decision was taken for us to go and report the matter to the police station.
