MONTEGUESA BEGUISE NTULI
On the 26th, on the very same month that you have just mentioned, Chairperson, I came home from a Cosatu meeting as usual.  I used to reside a house in eSikhawini H1.  The house is nearer to the police station, the eSikhawini Police Station.
	I came back.  I was with Enoch Nzuza.  He is one of the organisers for Numsa.  He also survived several attacks at Ndlangobo where he used to stay.  I then decided to bring him to my place where he could sleep for the night because we were concerned about his safety. 
	I went to the house with Rich and Lucky Ntuli, two boys who are my brother's sons and there was also in our company, Msize Nkunu who was guarding me at the time because we were being attacked as leaders of our movement.  We then took a decision that our leaders should be guarded all the time.  
	I think it was round about half past nine when I got into the house and went to sleep.  I went to sleep and they remained behind watching television.  I think it was round about 10 when I was woken up by gunshots, shots that were being fired through my window and all over the place, the dining-room, the kitchen and everywhere.  
	I got a fright, I woke up and I had a licensed 9mm pistol.  I tried to make out as from which direction the gunshots were being fired in relation to the room in which I was sleeping.  Msize who was guarding me at the time rushed to my room to make sure that I was safe.  He told me to take cover.  Even though I could be in the position to protect myself at the time it was his duty and it was my responsibility to listen to him because he was taking care of my safety.
	I listened to him and the gunshots continued incessantly.  They had already thrown carnages of handgrenades into the house at the time and we all tried to rush outside.  I then told Msize that I would like to help him because he is the only one who was trained and therefore in the position to can protect all of us.  	We then agreed.
	We tried to retaliate.  The handgrenades were thrown and we rushed to the bathroom, opened water to try and get some - I'm sorry, it was not a handgrenade it was teargas, we rushed to the bathroom.  We were used to the handgrenades because we also suffered the same fate at the hands of teargas.  We were used to teargas experiences at the hands of the police.  We rushed to the bathroom.  
	All members of our union and activists knew that in cases of teargas attacks we had to get wet cloths.  On entering the bathroom we thought the gunshots would stop but they did not.  I ran out of ammunition and Msize and myself agreed that he should defend all of us and get us out of the house.
	He got the rest of the people out of the house, Enoch Nzuza and myself remained behind and Enoch Nzuza had just been attacked the very same morning.  Enoch Nzuza had survived an attack that very same morning.  He would then bring some alcoholic beverage with him ...[intervention]
