On that day there had been a lot of violence, there were Security Force soldiers and they were travelling in about 15 vehicles in Ixopo.
	The IFP was actually busy stabbing people.  There is one boy from Hlungelwa family who was caught by the soldiers, and he was stabbed.
	The soldiers were actually not protecting ANC members.  They might as well not have been present.  Such a person called Dindelwa Poswa was caught and they removed his jacket.  The soldiers were actually not performing their duties.  
	The Ixopo area had been demarcated into two, there was an IFP rank and shops and also ANC rank and shops in the (indistinct) area.  On that day, we were actually walking around.  I wanted to go to my sister's house, it was around two o'clock in the afternoon.
	My sister resided in a shack settlement in Ixopo.  On my way when I was just about to cross the main road outside the Ixopo area, I met two or three girls and they were walking very briskly and I enquired what was going on.
	They said they are not sure what is going on, but somebody must be dead at a certain spot where a van was parked.   On that day I had an AK47, which I had exchanged with that pistol which I had removed from the coloured man.
	I had on a long coat and before I approached the spot, I was about 100 meters away from the spot, I removed the AK47 from the safe and put it on the ground and I covered it with a cardboard box.  It was just alongside the road.
	I put the AK about the distance that is from my table to the Committee's table, that is the distance between the AK and the road.
