We wished to stay at eLinge.  I was pregnant at the time.  I then gave birth to this child, my husband was home.  We were under house arrest.  We were only allowed to go out and go to the loo and come back.
 If we had to go to town, Detective Jakq would come and find out when we needed to go to town.  We would have to report sometimes to the charge office as well.  That child that I gave birth to, only lived for three months.
 My husband was ill at the time.  When we reported to Mr Jakq that my child had passed away, they said that Mr Jakq should take my baby to the graveyard.  We did not have a coffin for the child, we were also very hungry, we had no food.
 They actually said that my husband should take my child to the graveyard.  I asked how my husband would be able to do that as he was ill of health?  They said that he must go the ANC, the ANC must do it for him.
 We then put the baby, the baby's corpse in a cardboard, we took the baby to the graveyard.  We dug a hole and we put the box inside.  Our neighbours could not do anything to help us.  We had no food.  It is my mother who travelled from Cradock to Queenstown and gave us food.
 When Sonwabo was released from jail, he went to talk to Ndileka's father.  I don't know what he said to him.  The police then came asking for Sonwabo.  Now and again we

would be taken to Queenstown - my husband - to a certain farm.
 When he came back from the farm, he looked terrible and I asked what had happened.  He said that there were a whole lot of police at the farm and that he had been beaten up.   They put cream on his body and he was asked to such from his genitals.
 I then asked them if we could see a Doctor, they said no Doctor would come to Aron.  The Detective said that there is nothing that he can do about my husband's health.  There was a nurse in eLinge that would give me painkillers for my husband.
 His health deteriorated.  In 1987, April, I was coming from church.  I saw a car parked in front of our house.  The children were excited saying it is Sonwabo.  I then asked why is Sonwabo here, because then the Boers are going to be after us again.  
 I then told Sonwabo that we were dying of hunger, there is no food.  He then said you have got to continue this way, things are difficult.
 Sonwabo left for a few days.  Detectives came yet again asking for Sonwabo.  A child from Cradock came saying that he had lost a car.  I then asked if I had anything to do with cars, then this boy said that, called me by name, saying that he was just asking about the car.  This boy then left.
 I then said to my children that you know, actually that was a Detective, I just don't know who sent him.  There were a whole lot of MK children that Sonwabo had brought.  I then asked Mxolisi to go and find out what is happening.
 He saw a whole lot of policemen sitting by the Post
