On the 11th of February 1990 when the President was released I was working a night shift.  When I got home, everybody was anxious to go to the Grand Parade because that's where the President was going to be.  Everybody wanted to go to this Grand Parade, he asked for R10-00 from me to go to Town.
I gave him the money, but I said to him Thamsanqa are you going to be able to see everything there because it will be very full.  They were going to go there in the afternoon.  So I said I was going to go to work early because I knew that transport  would be scarce to go to work that day.  After I had left, apparently Thamsanqa's friend arrived.  Thamsanqa's girl friend, they both went to Town.   When I came back on Monday in the morning, I got a message that Tossi his friend told me that Thamsanqa has been taken by the police.  These policeman were in the yellow police van with the police stamp on the door, beige.
Then that's when I realised that he is in the police station in Town.  On the same Monday I went to the police station, when I got to Caledon Square, I was told that Thamsanqa wasn't there.  Then I went to Sea Point, even at Sea Point I couldn't find him.  So I went to all the police stations that I could think of, I couldn't find him.  I went to prisons, I couldn't find him there either.
I went to Salt River mortuary, even there I couldn't find Thamsanqa.  Then I went to ANC's lawyers who were at the vlak called Moosa.  They told me that they were going to look for me - for him.  Then when I got back I got a message that I must quickly go back to vlaking there I was told that there were two bodies at Salt River mortuary.  Maybe I could be able to identify Thamsanqa as one of those bodies.  So when I got there, they showed me all those bodies there, now they told me that there is another body that were the same age as Thamsanqa that was taken by some people to Gauteng.
Until today I never got Thamsanqa back, Thamsanqa left me with his children, now even if I am sick I have to go to work, because I have to work for Thamsanqa's child.
