Special Report Transcript Episode 17, Section 3, Time 17:58

There were people along the road from the Executive Hotel down to this space. These people were armed; I didn’t know why they were armed. When I came in here I found a crowd of people. // When we gathered there in thousands the police and soldiers were there in hundreds. Now, we didn’t know who called them. And we didn’t know why they are here, because this is just an ordinary memorial service. // We were here, the people noticed that Sabelo was here, the member of the government of Inkatha. He was here, instructing these people to come and bombard us. // The leader of Inkatha came inside the hall with three guns, one this side, one that side and he was holding a big one …came inside the hall and his people were following him. Then they started hitting everybody with knobkieries, their spears, poking. Man, I saw a terrible thing, I saw people dying like flies in front of my eyes. // They hit him, after they hit him, then he tried to stab me inside, and fortunately he could not… // I can feel that I am walking on the pool of blood, because it was not one person or two persons who were just lying down. Fifteen persons died instantly. // I ‘m not afraid but I was swearing in my mind, you devils why do you come and kill us here, what for?
