MR NCAMAZANA: I cannot remember well who they were because I was not called then to receive those people, I only got the message from other comrades who were called by those.

We were asked to go to Roodepoort at the police station where some corpses were. We informed the Comrades that Pumsele had passed away and that we had no money to bury him. Dan made a donation. We first went to Roodepoort to try and find him and he was there. After that he was buried.
