ALWINUS MRALASI
Some are there in Victoria West, others died.  Let me say we were two groups of people.  We were first arrested on the 24th of April and another group was arrested in June, in 1968.  Those went to court in Oudtshoorn but their is not here at he moment.  And we went to court - went to the Supreme Court  but we heard that  William, Frans Manene, were sentenced three years  and this surprised us and this was told to us by Mr Wayne Peffer.
We wondered whether those people, who were  - those people who were after us and then they were sentenced but were still going to court.  Then there was promised to work on this.  They were in Victor Verster and they were told that their  case had been closed, they should go home.  I heard one women saying this child is really hurting and damaging my heart and I would ask how did this happen.
And yet he actually mend the actions.  Even those men who died - because even during our absence people would die and then our wives would have to go and dig and conduct funerals and this was really hurting.  There was a division because there were - those were witnesses and they were wives that really enjoying it and they were dressing well, where is our wives who were suffering at the time.  So those who were suffering used to go and dig holes for the graves - to make graves.
Even now, we are still staying together and as I can see wives are happy together and we men we talk about these things and I will always point out 1968 and these men would leave us.  And leave us there talking about these things.  There is another man I am related to, who's name I'm not going to mention, he will invite me to his home and then I will ask my children to go and help there.  So, I'm trying to say people do these things and these things backfire.  So,  this is what is happening.  I thank you, Commission.
