It was about a quarter past four when I left home.  Before we got to the station we saw that there were many people around and there were also buses.  We heard a voice saying that we must go to the buses and people said that they weren't going to go to the buses.  A whistle was then blown, people ran away and I fell down.  I tried to ask for help because I was shot and I couldn't stand up.
 People came and tried to find a car to take me to hospital.  They then found Mr Malgas's car and I'm very sad that he's not here to-day because he saved my life.  I was then taken to the Cecilia Makiwane Hospital.  I didn't want to be taken out of the car because at that time my leg was very painful.  The bullet struck me in my thigh.  I was then taken by car to the hospital and I told them not to take me out of the car because I had a lot of pain.  They said they are going to take me out because they were trying to save my life.  I was taken to the theatre.  There was one person in the theatre.  I don't know whether this person was shot.  There was another lady from N.U. 5 plus a nurse.  I was waiting for a doctor to operate on me.  This lady was Nurse Senip.  She said that we are very happy that you were shot.  She asked, why are you not using the buses?  This caused the conflict between herself and the nurses.   There were three of us in the car at the time but I don't remember the third person.  We were in Ward No 30 which was never used before.  
 After I was treated no one was allowed to come and visit us.  Our children wanted to come and visit us but they couldn't because the police stopped them.  Sebe said that nobody was allowed to visit us.  This was very painful to us because we couldn't see our children.  The specialists came to us, trying to treat us and they were arrested.  There was one from Transkei and he was arrested as well.  
 I spent six months in hospital.  I have thirteen pins in my body.  A doctor from overseas, Doctor Floris, treated me.  My leg wasn't straight after the operation and this doctor came and helped me.  I thank this doctor because if it wasn't for him my leg would have to have been amputated.  He treated me and he said that my leg would be straight after his treatment.  I stayed in hospital for six months.  The nurses took me to physiotherapy, trying to help me.  I had five children and I was working in the tea room at Ruiters at the time.  My employers tried to help my children with food.  
 After spending six months in hospital, I was discharged and I went back home.  I stayed at home trying to get a pension.  I was working for Black people at the time.  My two children, Bugelo and Bulelo were educated because I was working for the Black people.  I couldn't work properly and the doctors advised me to get a special shoe because if I didn't, I would be paralysed.  I tried to get a pension but they said that I was able to get work so I cannot get a pension.  I was working for Miss Simone for Eighty Rand and Miss Makonto for Forty Rand.  
 I would like to thank the Lord because my children managed to do Standard Ten.  My four children completed Matric and the other one got married.  One of them is in Fort Hare University.  The two are in Johannesburg looking for work.  I'm also suffering.  I cannot say that I'm employed full-time.  It's only a job.  you have to try and support yourself these days and I would like to thank the Lord for not taking my life so that I can support my children, so that I can try any means to see that my children will be educated.  I thank the Lord.  
 I would like to thank you for this opportunity for being here to-day.  I didn't want to come here because I thought that I would feel pain.  We were suffering at the time and we were praying to the Lord and to-day we would like to thank the Lord for this Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  We would be very glad if the people who did these things to us could come forward and tell the Commission what they did to us.  I'm thankful for this day but I didn't want to come here.   Mr Sam gave me the money to come here because when I thought back I knew that because of Sebe I was not injured but now I'm injured and disabled.   I was one of the people who paid Three Hundred Rand.  Priscilla and Tzinzi paid this amount of money for me.  Our lawyer was Priscilla Djali in Johannesburg.  As she was very far she could not handle our case.  It was then transferred to Pringle and I went to Mark Rabe who told me to go to East London to Pringle.  Priscilla Djali tried to pay this amount of money, the Three Hundred Rand.  We would have been arrested if we didn't pay that money.  We were not working at the time but Priscilla helped us and she paid the money.
