on the spot.  His name was Whitey, he was staying at 9th Avenue.  House number 29.   The fourth one managed to escape.  He wasn't injured, only three of us were shot at.  My friend was shot also on the foot and he passed away.  I am the only one who is left behind.  Most of them died.  On the very same day the white people left us burning on the ground.  After lying on the ground bleeding for about three hours they called an ambulance, they took us to Hillbrow hospital.  On the same day I was so badly injured they couldn't do anything, they had to amputate my foot and the next day they took us to Baragwanath Hospital.  At Baragwanath I had some problems because there was one doctor from South America.  He was harassing me, telling me that I am Mr Mandela's terrorist.  I had to ask for a transfer to go back to Hillbrow hospital because of the harassment that I experienced at Baragwanath hospital.   They had to take me back to Hillbrow hospital.  In the end they discharged me in September.  I had to be given crutches because I didn't have a leg.  I got well in about 1988 and I went to Natal to continue with my studies.  I finished matric in 1990.   At the present moment I have got a matric, I have been searching for a job but I couldn't find any.
