when we parted in the morning before the march and before I went to work he had said to me that dad there are a lot of people that are going to be, people that are going to die, therefore I am a bit worried because I don't think I will go to the march.  That is how we parted.  We bade each other goodbye.  He said he would just study.
 I went to work, when I came back in the afternoon I was a bit restless and worried so I went home to find out whether he had gone to the march or not and he wasn't there but his books were on the table.  I think he'd been studying.  
 After that I was not really concerned about his whereabouts because he'd said he's not going. I looked around from his friends' places until it was very late.  I could not find him.  The next morning I got up early, I went to hospitals, I went to Mdantsane, I did not find him.  I did not get any direction even at Cecilia Makiwane.  That day I gave up.  It was a Tuesday.  When I found my child it was on a Wednesday, that is after we had gone to police to hospitals and not found him.  
 What gave us some direction is that the other guys at Mxenge, that were at school with him came to tell us that he had gone to the march.  I had not even listened to the news on the Monday evening because apparently the others had seen him in the news injured.
