DR BORAINE
It compounds the tragedy.  You mentioned that in your own response, apart from your personal grief, which is very understandable, that you made a powerful political statement.  Were you in any way involved in politics?  I know that the ANC, for example, was a banned organisation in 1984, so clearly you couldn't have open membership of that party, but just tell us about why you made such a strong statement?  Was it revulsion of violence, or political commitment, or what?
