ZANDISILE PATRICK KONDILE
This is a very clear issue.  My friend was not the first one to be killed, Amos Gamede.  People had been killed before and it was not the first time for me to kill a person.
	We were hunting each down, we were killing each other but they had actually started off so we decided to give them a taste of their own medicine and the only way to do that was to do what they were doing to us.  
	There was no personal vendetta on my part to kill Mr Shandu because my friend had been killed earlier on.  He was not the first one to be killed and Shandu was not the first one to be killed by me either.  
	Even besides that issue or that matter, we had attacked others before and we had been attacked before and that was a resolution that was taken as a group that we should also attack them.  If it was a personal vendetta I would have killed him only and not continued to kill others who were attacking us.  We decided that as a group of shop stewards because we tried to speak to them earlier on, to have some peace talks but they were not co-operative.  That is why we decided that we should also attack them because they were working with us during the day and in the evening they were sending other people or coming to attack us themselves.  The bosses were inside the factory and they were using hostel dwellers to come and attack us.
	When I saw Mduduzi during that day when he had been killed we decided to retaliate there and then.  Even now there is peace, Inkatha and ANC members are working together.  It's just that I was unfortunate to be the one who was arrested and I had to take the brunt for everything that happened there.  But I can point out that there is relative peace at that factory.  This incident helped to quell the violence that was taking place at that factory.
	Had they not seen our guns, that is had the management not seen our guns they would still be killing us, that is why we tried to take the guns into the factory.  Unfortunately one spied on us and told the management that we had some guns that were stashed away within the factory and we asked the management to withdraw the charges against us and the charges were withdrawn but they confiscated the AK47.
	The following day the police arrived to search the place, nothing was found except for the fact that the management had taken that AK47 and given it to the Inkatha members.  I'm showing you that this was not my decision or a personal decision, it was a decision taken as a group to protect ourselves as a group as well as other innocent people and other members of the ANC because we could see that the law was taking sides and it was taking too long to deal with the matter.
