For those who stayed behind in South Africa the late eighties was a time of confusion and conflict between those in the struggle and those perceived to be sell-outs. Metabo Mantsunyane was a member of the Dikwankwetla party in QwaQwa. The comrades branded her a traitor and burnt her house three times. // After they’ve burnt my house we went to the police station and the police came and they took photos. They went all around the house, they took photos, they saw everything that was burnt to ashes and they asked me whether do I know those people. And I said to them no I do not know the people. But there was a boy who used to come and help me at home. I’d send him to go and fetch me water with a barrel and he told me, he whispered to me who the people were. And the police were also there at the time he was telling this story. I regretted the fact that I took his name to the police, because he was severely assaulted and he had to run away from his home.
