Well that whole week I was not at work, actually. I was at home.  What happened Monday is that he was not at school and all the people around knew about that and the scholars as well.  So there was a procession of scholars from school to town.  I'm not sure what happened but most of them ran to my place because normally after school during that week they came down there and sang freedom songs and the police were also there.  And after the freedom songs the police used to chase them, and that's what happened.
 There was a policeman that was also involved, that's Glennis Peckman, he was also in charge on the Casper doing the shooting with these pellets and his own sister was also

So that week it was come and go with the police actually coming and going and looking and so on, but at home we did not take an interest in them because we were just worried about our son, what's going to happen now during this week.
 We went to the post mortem which was held on a Wednesday.  I went to identify the body but unfortunately we were not allowed at the post mortem.  The post mortem was done by the district surgeon, Dr Gough and we were not allowed to go there and anything like that.  But I did go to identify him and that's when I heard the guy that was in charge, the sergeant who was in charge at the mortuary there, telling me that this is what happens to, "Is this your boy?" I said, "Yes this is my son." "This is what happens to children who don't listen".   I  didn't answer him because I thought this is not a time or thing to answer him at the moment. I'll just leave that to him to think about.
