TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  It was at about quarter to 10 in the evening.  Myself and my younger sister we were sitting in the living-room.  My parents had already gone into the bedroom, but they were not yet asleep.  As we were just sitting we heard some movements outside, and we heard some movement on the roof.  Then I stood up, because I was sitting next to the door.  I stood up and I saw some shadows outside, and I heard - I could smell some petrol at that stage.  When my sister tried to stand up she couldn't because she is paralysed.  That is Nombuso Xaba.  She is paralysed, so she could not stand up properly.  She was knitting jerseys and I was doing dressmaking.  The children were asleep at that moment.  At the time I stood up I went to the dining-room door because I could hear them hitting the back door.  I peeped through the curtain.  Outside it was dark, but inside the house there was some light.  I switched off the lights inside the house and I switched on the lights outside the house, and I could see a group of people.  They were full in the yard, and they were busy hitting the door, and I went into my parents' bedroom and I found that they were awake already.  They asked me what was happening.  I told them I did not know what was happening.  Just at that moment the door was kicked open, and when the door got opened the group of people came inside the house and they met me.  Just as I was waiting there they opened the other door.  Now I was caught in the middle.  They were getting in from the back as well as the front door.
