THODUOE THELMAH GQINEBE
We went to the ANC attorneys, that is Somon Gama, and he is the one who was busy with the case and he was handling the matter and he told us that the case had actually prescribed.  I did not know as to how a murder case could prescribe and I did not understand as to why Mr Sithole chased my son away when he ran into his house.  As to why the police shot my son when he was not even armed, this is what troubles me, because I could not get any help and I did not know where to go for help.  There is still a question mark in my mind as to why was my son killed.  He told me that I should bring R1 000,00 to him in order to be
able to be represented and we borrowed R950,00 and we went back to this attorney looking for some help, but they could not help us.  This was very painful to me. 
 We went to Supreme Court to find out as to why they were saying that the ANC lawyers are not supposed to be paid, but we did pay and there is no help that we received from them.  That is why I have come before this Commission so that there could be some clarification.  My heart is still sore when I look at other boys who were his peers at that time.  I always think that he would probably be that age by now.  I do not get any rest whatsoever.  My son died without me knowing as to why he was killed. When he was killed, he was wearing uniform and he was killed at quite a tender age and I could not get any clarification.  I request this Commission to try and find out as to why my son was killed in such a brutal manner.  I want the policeman who killed my son to be brought to book as well Mr Sithole who did this, because he also has children.
