‘Mitchell goes back to the Trust Feed community to offer his help with the healing process.’ // I want you to tell me about your views today… // I have eight children and he died on the 3rd of December 1988. There is not even a cent that I am getting. I have to look after myself. I wash clothes for Indians in Durban because I want to take care of my children. I have children that have passed matric and they have not furthered their studies because their father is not here anymore, who died because of Mitchell.

I have no home, my house was burnt down. I have nothing. I stay in rented rooms. There is nobody who provides for me; there is nobody buying food for my family.

This is an opportunity to engage this community. // I’d just like to thank the community for allowing me to come here today and for gathering together in this fashion. Without your goodwill to allow me to come here none of this could have taken place. I have come here because I know it’s the right thing to do. I cannot financially help my family and I cannot financially help anybody at this stage. I just want to take this opportunity, as I did at my amnesty hearing to say to the community I’m sorry for what has happened to them. // Let me say that it is not the white man, we created the mud that enabled him to divide us, we created this mud, so we should clean ourselves because we are responsible for the mud…
