When we were about to arrive at Whittle-Sea a lot of soldiers came 
around and they stopped the bus asking us where we were coming from.  We told 
them that we were coming from Cradock.  They asked us which funeral, whose 
funeral we attended.  We said that we were coming from Matthew Goniwe's and 
others funeral.  They asked us why we left funerals in our area and attended funerals in 
Cradock.  They said that we knew everything that was happening there.  They asked 
us to sing songs which were sung in that funeral.  We sang church songs and we told 
the that Mxenge was a speaker and they took us out of the bus and they took 
pamphlets in our bus and t-shirts.  
 They told us to lie down on our stomachs.  They hit us.  Some of them had 
hose pipes.  They spread water to us.  Two of us were pregnant and these soldiers 
wanted to kick us so that we can lose our children.  Soldiers were kicking us.  They 
were riding on top of us.
