TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  Bethwell.  Bethwell woke up in the morning.  I heard him talking to his sister that she must bring his red shoes and maroon shirt and jeans and then he dressed up and he left for work.  In the evening I realised that he was supposed to be back home and I was troubled as to what was going on, how come he wasn't at home until this time, and then at that time I had my new house built.  I went to this lady's house, the one that I came and stayed when I first came and when I was there I saw the lady's daughter and I greeted her and I heard gunfire and when we looked we saw people - a lot of people - going up and down and this girl said to me, "Do you have any idea as to what is going on?"   I said, "No, I don't know".  I went back home.  I told my other children.  I said, "I heard gunfire and my child is not home yet", and I could realise that my other kids were also worried.  I couldn't sit down.  I kept on looking up and down and a girl from Shandu's family came and she called my daughter, Ntombifuthi and she said, "Come here".  Then I went to them and they were talking.  When I was there she left, she ran away, and I asked my daughter, "What was she saying?" and then she said, "She was asking where was my brother", and then I decided to follow her to the Shandu family, and then when I arrived there her sister was crying.  Then I asked her why was she crying and she said she saw someone being shot at the bus stop.  I said to her, "How come, because we both heard the gunfire but you didn't cry?  Why are you crying now?", and then she said to me, "No, your child is not dead".  I said to her, "It means he is dead", and then I decided to go back to my children, and I told them that Mboteni, the girl from Shandu, is now crying and the boy who usually goes with my son is back home and what about my son, he is not back home, and the children said, "No, let's go to the bus stop "and check if he's not there".  And then I said, "My children said they are going to check from their brother", and the girl from Shandu said, "No, I'll go with them", and one boy who was 10 years old at that time and this boy said, "They won't come back if they are going to the bus stop", and then she said, "Why are you saying they won't come back?  They will come back.  Let's go and check for him", and my children came back crying and they said, "We can't find our brother there and when we check at the bus stop we can't see anything and we saw a fire and when we go there people are coming, so we were scared, we ran, and these people aren't saying anything to us, but they just look at us badly, so we ran away up until here at home", and then it was clear to me that child has died.  My neighbour came and she said to me ... (end of tape No 2A)
