Yes we were going up and down, wanting to know where my husband was.  I remember at one time we went to Nqone Police and you'd never find out directly in which jail a person was.  After the seventh mont father Stubbs was a person who really tried to help.  He said I should go to Pretoria but seems as if Mapetla is in Pretoria, they would

try by all means to find some means of singing.  We went to Central Prison in Pretoria and then I would stay there for the whole week, every morning going to Pretoria since our prison with my lawyers wanting to see my husband, but never.
 In the second week I was told that I can see my husband for only two minutes, because I said to them, nobody can only disappear without any reason.  We it's things that are happening in our area.  I even told them that we read about people who get hijacked in the showers in the prison.  I just read in the newspaper about a person who fell from a chair and died, but in actual fact you'd have the feeling that the person is still alive.  Then you'd only see the person for two minutes if you are given a chance.  That's what happened during those days, in the seven months that he was inside. Do you remember the Act, tell us under which Act he was detained. What did they say to you.  Every time police would come and arrest Mapetla and they would say, under Section Six of the Terrorism Act. In that section, I knew exactly about it.  As I've already said, some of their things,   (end of tape 1)
(start of tape 2) and it was hopeful that everything was going on so well.  When you were making your own judgement you would say these policemen had been trapped, but when the results came out and nobody was accused and found guilty about this death, it was said Mapetla had committed suicide.   We were not that shocked because we expected that, as we always knew about the courts of South Africa.  We were very angry about this. I could not control my anger, I was so emotional that I vowed that I am going to show these people.  And I was also aware that I have to be protected against myself, but I was helpless at the same time.  I was

dejected, I was hopeless and I vowed to myself as they said that they have finished with me, and that were thinking that this struggle would not continue, I rejected that and I was sure that was going on strongly with the struggle.
 I also emphasised the fact that the plans which were laid out by my husband are going to be carried out.  At times he used to go on Sundays and he would say we must go and scout around for beautiful houses in the town in King Williamstown.  We would go around and look at each beautiful house where he would say, "These Boers, where they stay, we are going to own that house one day".  I was so sure that I will fulfil these dreams and I would make sure that they are fulfilled, and this was very horrible, when it came to this.
