MR MABUZA
I am Sydney Mabuza, from 155.  I came before the Commission to explain about the IFP.  People from the IFP came to my house at 11 o'clock in the night.  They hacked me and they were sure they had killed me.   People thought I was dead and my relatives went around searching for me.  They even used to go around to hospitals looking for me.
 I went to Orlando for a short period and found that my health was not good and I had to come back to Alexandra.  I stayed in Alexandra at night. I did not have a place to sleep.  I left my house intact but today I do not have a home to go to.  I live with other people, just like a slave. I do not have a job.  I am hungry. I have children. Even my children are spoilt because they do not have parents to give them parental guidance.  I myself, I cannot do things for myself.  I do not have the power to work anymore. I have

taken everything I possessed; my cars, everything. I was left with nothing.  I have to borrow clothes to wear from other people up until today.
 I have had to borrow money from people. I have not repaid this debt.  I do not know why I am living, because I am suffering.  Whether I sleep with a meal in my stomach or not, nobody knows or cares.  My parents cannot support me at this stage, together with my children.  They are unable to support all of us.  My poverty is the same as theirs. We are like living corpses.
 Unfortunately my father died when I was young. I have to take his place.  Unfortunately,  people have taken everything I possessed. I do not know where to start.  This is what led me to come to the Truth Commission, because up till today I am still worried as to what happened.  The people did this are still alive, they eat very well and walk around in the streets.
 I have nothing else to say.
