me I don't like it.  I am not used to this kind of thing.  I have never seen a person being killed this way."  They didn't do anything to me, they respected me and they left.  I stayed there.  Later on, because this thing happened about four, and at around six I got worried about this person who was lying here.  I left and I went to the one who had grabbed him first.  I said, "But now the person you grabbed that person is still lying there.  It's better for us to go and call the police car so that they can take this person to the mortuary.  But now because he is lying there he needs our help.  Now he is dead there is nothing we can do."  The second thing, we had been called to the meeting that when we see such things we must try and hold together and work together, we shouldn't just leave these things.  And he respected me and we went to the other person who had also grabbed at him, and when I arrived at that person I found lots of people there.  And when I came in the other one said, "Hau, you men, are you crazy?  Why are you here?  Please get out of here.  Please get out of here, this is a meeting.  A meeting of ours like this one does not need a person like you."  I was confused, but anyway I managed to escape.  When he was still talking to me another child stood up and insulted me, and he grabbed at me and pulled me out of the door.  And I had a knobkerrie.  When he tried to hit at me I hit back with this knobkerrie.  The other one said, "Be careful of him, he's a dangerous person when he's got his knobkerrie."  They took my knobkerrie.  That's where they stabbed at me, stabbed me all over.  I didn't even see how I was stabbed and by who because there were lots of them.  But later on they stabbed me, they stabbed me and pushed me towards the door.  That's where I fell and they finished off with me.  I could hear that they had finished with me and I couldn't get up there, and I thought I was going to follow the other guy they had stabbed.  While I was still lying there there were two people who tried to help me.  They put me next to the street.  That's where I got some kind of assistance, but I was unconscious ... (inaudible) .. my mind had escaped me and I was confused according to how I had been stabbed.  I think I was just fortunate, I managed to get up again and walk towards home.  When I arrived home they nursed me.  I couldn't even go to the doctor on that day as it was on the 17th, and on the 18th, the following day, and on the 19th.  There was no way I could go.  On the 19th this Thembi arrived with Cele at night.  They said to me, "Hau, you survived."  I said, "Yes, I survived."  They said, "You've very fortunate in what happened to you there."  And the other one said, "No, it means you are a Xhosa indeed, you are not part of this group.  But we had told you you were going to follow up this other person who died."  That was about nine.  And then they left.  After they had left it was nine, it was 10, and 11.  At 12 the petrol bomb came in.  My whole house was surrounded.  They hit my house.  They petrol-bombed my house, and there were bullets all over.  There were lots of bottles inside the house.  But what I really saw, they were burning - they hit them.  When they hit them they were burning, but when they fell inside the house they stopped, the fire was extinguished.  I think because of this what happened as an inyanga my house was protected, because petrol bomb it's weaker than the muthi.  That is why I didn't die.  That is why the petrol bomb didn't explode into my house.  It's because my house was protected with the medicine.  They disappeared into the darkness.  They disappeared into the darkness, and I was worried because I thought my children would die because of the smoke.  I tried to pull them outside.  They came back.  When they came back the second time they tried to burn my house.  They kicked my door.  The door opened and they pushed themselves in.  They went into the house and they were thrown outside.  They tried to push themselves in, but every time they would be thrown outside.  They went outside to my four cars and they lit them up.  As the cars were burning I managed to get out of the house as well.
