Special Report Transcript Episode 21, Section 4, Time 21:28

When Tuesday dawned the death toll was almost 10, the battle was now at its height with the Duncan villagers pitting their sticks and stones and burning barricades against the tanks and guns of the security forces. // It was on 13 August. I was sitting outside my place with my girlfriend reading a magazine. A lot of people walked by but they weren’t threatening. Later on a soldier came past and he said to me ‘stand up you kaffir!’ So I stood up and dropped my magazine as I put my hands in the air. I pleaded with him not to shoot and he lowered his gun so I thought he’d go away. Then I heard the shot and I fell to the ground. My whole body felt weak and I realized he’d shot me in the leg so I swore at him. I said he should do it properly and shoot me in the head.
