MRS MTSWENI
Maki or Mateo is my son.  He was hacked to death by Inkatha members.  After they had done that ......  I was not at home at home at the time of the incident but my daughter, the one who is present here with me to-day was also present.  I was first from another place where I was told that my son had been taken to the Bethal Hospital.  They fetched me on a Monday and I went straight to the Bethal hospital.  When I got to Bethal Hospital they told me that he had just been taken to Kalafong Hospital and I proceeded home thereafter.  When I got there I was told of the injuries that he had sustained.  We do not have any clarity as to who attacked him but my daughter Tembi said certain policemen came into the house as well as an ambulance and they knocked at my place.  They woke them up and instructed them to open the door but they were scared to open up because at that time there was a lot of violence going on.  A certain policeman identified himself as Mandla Nglabati and he said he had come to tell them that my son had been injured.  They went out to speak to him  -  that he was wearing and he had just arrived on that particular day because he was from work.  He was working in Pretoria.  On that Monday I was at home and on Wednesday I went to Kalafong Hospital to see him.  I didn't know where Kalafong was but I had to look for it until I got there.  When I got to Kalafong I was not able to identify him because he was at the intensive care unit.  There were drips around him and the nursing sister pointed him out to me and he could identify me by my voice.  His eyes had been gouged out as well as his teeth, all his teeth.  He had no teeth left in his mouth.
