NQABAKAZI GODOLOZI
He was going alone.  When he went to the meeting I came back from work.  On the 9th, I received a telephone call and my mother in law told me that I should go via her place.  When I arrived there she told me that my husband Quaqawuli was arrested.  I was also suspicious of that because he didn't come back the previous night and I also was aware about what was always happening because the police were looking for the books.
 On this day, a Wednesday, up to Friday, we didn't receive anything.  On Monday I received a telephone call and my cousin told me that my husband was at court. Because the place where I worked was just opposite the court, I p[ut down the telephone and because we were able to move around unnoticed, I was able to go out and attend the court, but when I arrived back, the policemen were chasing everyone away. I was so surprised why they were doing this so that people could not attend the court but because I had disappeared from work I came back again.  At one o'clock during the lunch hour I went to court again, I went from door to door calling for my husband because at times there were people who were at the cells.
    At that moment I could hear people talking about this

incident and the people in Port Elizabeth were talking and I overheard them talking, because they didn't know that I was the wife to Godolozi, and the Port Elizabeth people were all affected by what the police were doing. I learned that my husband was taken to Alexandria.  Two days later my sister came, it was a long time that she was coming, so she came to look for my husband trying to find out what happened, and it was also publicised that my husband had disappeared together with his friend.  I just told my sister that my husband was taken away and we knew that they didn't just get lost but were taken away by them.
 So my sister stayed with me, giving me the support that I wanted at the time.  I cannot remember the exact date but it was already in February 1986.  At that time I went to work again because I was still employed.  I told the employers that my husband has disappeared ever since he was arrested and that nobody knows any trace about him. You know that we were aware that the Boers at the time were so sensitive and they were arresting everybody.  My sister organised a car for us so that we can go and look for my husband.  My cousin and our friends, we went to Alexandria.  When we reached Alexandria, we didn't even know where the court was because we're not familiar with the place, we didn't even know where the police station was but, because we learned about this area, we went along to look for my husband.
 My sister had a friend, a school mate at the time, these people were supportive and they assisted us and took us along and tried to show us where we can find people who can help us to look for my husband. You know at the time everybody was alert and aware of this disappearance of my

husband and his friend, and we were informed that the Boers at the time were so sensitive, especially the police.  There were two policemen from Grahamstown. I did not even know them but this person was mentioning these people.  We went there, there was a policeman outside the house.  When we saw this person, it was David Mtala who was a policeman. He welcomed us and asked us what we wanted at Alexandria.  
We told him about our problem and he accommodated us.
 There was another policeman inside, he was a bit more mature that the other one, he looked also familiar, I knew his father who was a pastor, he was Mr Moyia.  I made enquiries and confirmed that he is.  We exchanged small talk and I was trying to approach them.
