NKOSINATHI NKOHLA
The people that used to be my friends ostracised me because the boers  gave the impression that I was working for them and it appeared as if I got paid and this spoiled my future because I didn't have friends.  The boers tried to make things difficult for me.
I couldn't  do anything about the situation - I was unable to stop them from using me.  I couldn't resist what they were doing because they were pressurising me.  I was worried because I knew about my background and the Comrades had nothing against me because I informed them about what happened to me.
This affected me so much I have never been the same person again.  I am unable to move freely and the police wanted to continue using me against my people.  It was painful to be a State witness for something that you didn't know about.  I had to witness against the people who didn't do anything against anybody.  I had to admit that I saw people who took the grenade, those  [indistinct]   and his colleagues, they  were the people who capitalised over all what happened and then they insisted that I was their informer.
They also asked how many were we, I said we were six and I formulated a story so that I can be saved from their oppression.  Van der Kolf came after I have agreed to their story and then they said they were going to take photos at Trust Bank George Street where this all took place.
They alleged that we got training so we had to agree that we had got training from that area.  They also wanted to know who were responsible for all - some of the things that they talked about and I didn't know what they were talking about.  But I did agree and admitted that I knew everything they were talking about.
After we did these point outs they asked me -  Erasmus and Rossouw asked me if I was prepared to be a State witness, I said no.  They then decided to charge me.  They took me to Transvaal Road and Rossouw came and said they were going to charge me because I didn't want to work with them.
It is then that they started to be against me.  Then - it's then when I met Sipho in the court.  All the statements I have given  I was trying to accuse Sipho for something that I didn't know.  When we got there in court they told me about their alibi.
There were some witnesses who came from Sishel.  They brought everyone, but at the end some of the Comrades stood by me and they insisted that I cannot do such a thing.  They said they knew me very well and I was working with them.
You all know then what was said by the previous speaker and during the day of the march I was not at Kimberley.  Everybody should know that I was not there,  I came very late towards the end of the month  and I did not know about what happened.
