SANDISWA MKHONTO
the struggle from 1983.  Cradock during that time, people 
were speaking with just one voice. They were fighting the tyrants.  Sparrow was one of 
those people who were elected by the people.  At that time they were actually fighting the 
rents. Sparrow was elected in the second meeting that was there, he became the 
chairperson of Cradock area. The organisations were Cradora and the other one at that 
time.  Sparrow was working at that time at the Railway, he was not satisfied as he was not 
feeling secure.  Sometimes he would be taken from his job and assaulted at SANLAM.  
He would come home in a bad condition.  Sometimes he'd be re
moved and detained for two days.  Sometimes I'd go searching for him but to no avail.
