MR NTJALI
As from 1991, violence erupted in the township and it was uncontrollable.  The situation was so intense that everyone was scared in the township and people were dying and this was very sad.  The reason I became involved in this incident we're talking about to day, Mr Hlongwane, who was my co-accused, he was one of my Commanders because he was the one who used to contact the person who was in a higher position, therefore Hlongwane came to me and told me that there was a factory at Peters and he said to me we should try and go and rob that factory and take that money and use it to buy weapons to protect the community.  He said the money was going to be used to buy weapons and he knew, or he did mention that the weapons were going to come from Johannesburg.  I agree with him.
