I was coming home from work, it was during October/November of 1976.  When I got into the township there was chaos there was children all over the streets.  They were running away, it looks like they were running away from the police.  This went on until November.  That is now these riots.  There are soldiers as well.  When it was December we hoped that now things were now subside - this particular Saturday, we didn't sleep that night.  We saw people who had white scarves, the policeman who didn't stop this chaos, we didn't sleep the previous night.
In the following morning, we saw the soldiers on the other side and now we saw this wit these people who were known that time as wit doek.  And we saw people pouring petrol  - these certain people were trying to cross, together with these soldiers.  Now when I say these people I am referring to the wit doeke.
We tried to call Bellville and Vlakkie, no policeman came, our township was surrounded.  After we had our meal, these people who were still surrounding our place.  My daughter's husband arrived, he was from another place.  And he came to register this cases.  And he asked for the ID's and marriage certificates.  People from the rural areas were singing and there were policeman in - these policeman were from hippos.
Like I said we didn't sleep the previous night at all.  In the afternoon around two or three or four, I tried to go and look for my children.
