MR BERGER
Then I want to refer you to Exhibit H, the affidavit of Mr Njanelwa Ndaba.  In paragraph 7 of that affidavit he gives a very interesting explanation for why the people of Boipatong were attacked.  He says the following at paragraph 7 and I will translate.  He says
"The reasons which were given to me why Boipatong was attacked by the residents of Kwamadala Hostel on the 17th of June 1992 and killed is as follows"
And he talks about two people who told him - I'll summarise this for you, about the residents of Boipatong being protected by people from Sharpeville but he says that in return for this protection these people from Sharpeville demanded money from the people of Boipatong.  And then I'll read to you what he says in the last paragraph.  He says:
"What I'm actually saying is that from conversations with people who live in Boipatong and who work at Iscor, also from conversations with residents of the Kwamadala Hostel who work at Iscor and in other places, the reason for the attack on the residents of Boipatong is as a result of the people who were protecting"
The Afrikaans word is: "bewaak", I think that that does mean to protect.
"people who were guarding Boipatong"
And maybe I should read the Afrikaans so that I don't misquote.  He says:
"Is die rede vir die aanval of die inwoners van Boipatong as gevolg van die persone wat Boipatong"
He uses the word:
"Sirela"
for Boipatong.
"bewaak het en hulle gedurig voorgekeer het en geld vir hulle dienste geeis het"
He goes on, he says:
"Verder dat die persone wat Sirela, Boipatong, die nag van 17 Junie 1992 aangeval en gedood het soos reeds vermeld inwoners van die Kwamadala Hostel is en kon hulle blykbaar nie die sogenaamde bewakers van Sirela, Boipatong opspoor nie en het hulle toe besluit om nie met lee hande terugtekeer nie, met ander woorde gaan om mense aanteval en dan niks doen nie.  Hulle het toe besluit om maar in Sirela, Boipatong integaan en wraak op ander inwoners te neem"
So he says that the residents of Kwamadala went out to attack the guards from Sharpeville and when they couldn't find them, instead of coming back with empty hands then they decided to exact revenge on the other residents of Boipatong.  Was that the reason for the attack Mr Mthembu?
