LUSINDISO POYO
In 1987 before the national elections, I was working for the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry in Libode.  I asked for permission from my employer to go and help in the Voter Education in the Branch of Port St Johns where I come from.  I was involved in the activities of Voter Education, visiting different rural areas.  A rally on the 20th of April was organised.  I was fund-raising for that rally that was to take place.   We left the day before the rally to Majole, looking for a place where we were going to erect the tent and the other things.  We stayed there and looked for other things until the next day.  The following day, on this day of the rally, the 20th, we left from Majole with Mr Kanandyana's car, going to Port St Johns.  I was going there because I was sent to ask, to get the podium or platform and the loudspeaker.  When we got to town, next to the railway station, we met with Fundisele Guleni.  Fundisele Guleni talked to Mr Kanandyana at the railway station.  Before we could reach the town, he was with the other people of which were not known to me.   We turned back without getting into town.  Myself, Noteza, Fundisele and Mr Kanandyana went back in this car.  On our way, we were told that there were people who were suspected as APLA members who were on their way to disrupt the rally.  Myself and Noteza were at the back of the van, Fundisele as in front, occupying the front seat of the van.  We went towards Dumasi and the car was stopped, because there were people hitch-hiking.
