He got injured on a Monday, he passed away on a Wednesday evening.  I was informed late on a Monday that the soldier's bus was shot at with a grenade.  When I heard that I sent one of my children to go and tell my sisters that the people in the bus were injured.  He came back and I sent him again to one of the relatives to go and tell her that there was an accident.  I couldn't walk at the time because one of my legs were injured.

 Early on a Tuesday morning I woke up, I took my things, I took my crutches, I went to one of his colleagues.  I knocked there at his house.  I asked him to phone me and tell me where he was.  I went back home.  When I arrived home one of my sisters who was working at Bisho came and told me that she was not going to work that day, she was going to Bisho Hospital because some of the survivors were at Bisho Hospital and some of them were at Cecilia Makiwane Hospital.
 At about eight I received a telephone call saying that my son is at Cecilia Makiwane Hospital.  One of my sisters came she said he was - he didn't look like a person who was breathing, he was at the ICU.  He was not breathing.  He was badly injured. They organised a car for me.
