VUSI LINDA HLENGWA
It was at night, we were just sitting not expecting anything and we heard some gunfire outside.  Whenever there was gunfire people would switch off their lights and seek some hiding places and I was able to peep through and see as to what was going on.  I saw a group of people from different directions as well as the direction of the hostel and some were coming from just above my place.  When this happened it was apparent that these people were coming towards my place and I decided that we should either defend ourselves or run away.   I was armed at the time,  I had petrol bombs as well as self, a self-made pistol or gun and I was able to shoot at them, they got scattered.
