MAKI ZOKOZA
Thank you Mr Chairperson.  I have mentioned that there are people who were with me while we were being beaten up.  I have forgotten someone.  He was Zama Siphaykie, Zama Siphaykie.  Let me now answer your question.  It was on the second of April.  As a leader, as a Chairperson of SANCO, the residents asked me to go to Zwelitsha together with certain people so that they can get pension from the Government.  It was on a Friday.  I took two people with me.  When I arrived in Zwelitsha we were rejected, because it was said that as a Chairperson I have no right to take people to get a pension.  A headman had the right to take these people so that they can get a pension.  They said that I was taking headman's place.  I then apologised, but I said that, according to my view, the Bhele people elected me to go there to ask pension for these people, but I said that I will go back to the people and report this matter.
 We came back from Zwelitsha.  When we were in town at the taxi rank, in the bus rank, one young man from Bhele township, Mr Vumani, I have forgotten his name, he said to me your house had been burnt down.  I did not believe this.  I could have died due to shock that day.  As a man I was strong.  I knew God planned this, because he gave me strength not to fall down, to be strong.  We, myself and Selmane decided to go and meet this SANCO in the sub-region.  We told them that our houses were burnt down.  The sub-region then phoned the Red Cross.  They said that these people will come and take us there.
