Special Report Transcript Episode 21, Section 3, Time 15:51

Simon Phiri’s mother died as the result of an AWB attack on his home in 1991. He was sleeping in his car when it happened. // They just laughed and they jumped the fence and they went into the field shouting AWB! AWB! I got out of the car as soon as they were away and I got into the house. Everything was not in an ordinary order and I wanted to see members of my family. I couldn’t see them because they were under the furniture that was lying all over. I saw drops of blood and I followed these drops of blood until I was in the street and I saw my mother lying and her head was injured, her whole body was also injured. And I picked her up; I took her back into the house. My hands were full of her blood.
