JOHN M MELATO
Mam, I have made my vow that I should not.  It is something that is very personal, would be informant and so on and what worries now is, what worries me at the end of the day, is the fact that you've got a son who I took into my house at the age of three.  He has now matriculated in 1995 and, and most unfortunately now I have retired from work and I can't be financially useful to him.  That is one factor that always is on my mind and gnaws at my heart like a rodent that gnaws at a piece of blanket.  What is the future of this child?  Perhaps if his father had been, was alive, there would be some help of some sort and so on.
 All the same my children in the union, in their combined discussion and so on, they're trying to help this boy as best they can.  Presently he is now at Johannesburg.  He's doing an engineering, what ever, because he wanted to get to a technikon and he could not.  He got injured, he was on the way, he had gone to for an interview at one of the technikons in Natal.  He slept in the bus and on the return, there was an accident, he nearly broke his back.  He was moving in crutches with some pads and so on for quite a time.  He just got relieved of some of a few pads I think and somewhere in February or March.  
 Now he is, he is a problem to me.  That's me immediate problem.
