In our township in Kagiso on that particular day, it was a very restless day.  Shacks were being burnt down in broad daylight.  In the evening just before seven o'clock I was in my bedroom. I just heard a white man asking KRUGERSDORP HEARING TRC/GAUTENG

what is happening here.  Somebody said that Inkatha has arrived. I heard another one saying please forgive us - he was talking in Zulu - please forgive us, we are of the same nation. I know him well. He asked for forgiveness, but there were shots fired. There were many shots fired. Somebody said shoot the dog as well. I was very quiet. I was scared to come out of the bedroom. I just said to myself today we are dead.  I just stayed in the bedroom.  After a while there was silence.  Then I decided to come out.  I saw Zanzile, I know him very well. He was lying on the kitchen floor. They killed him there.  
 When I went out David was lying outside.  He was lying outside. Thereafter the kids were lying there. The one was shot in the throat and the one in the shoulder. These two children did not die, but only the two that were shot by the police died.  Then I sent my one son who had hidden away, and they did not see him.   I asked him to go to the police and tell them that we are being attacked by people who said they are Inkatha members and they killed people here.  He did. It was just before seven o'clock.  This child did make a telephone call and said they are coming. 
 We stayed there until one o'clock in the morning. They came in many cars and they were asking me questions. I kept on telling them whatever I knew. I told them that I heard Inkatha was there, but I was in the bedroom.  They took the children and threw them in the vans and drove off with them.   I told the deceased families that their children are dead.  We went to the charge office where they asked us several questions.  They said that they will call the children to appear in court. Nothing has happened up until today.
