The year 1976 happened and on the very day that the uprising happened, at 3:00, a knock at my father's home sounded on the door and interestingly, there was a comrade of mine who was later killed by the Venda Police and his name was Tshifhiwa Muofhe. We were friends at high school and he had come to visit me. On the 16th, they found him sleeping with me in the dining room. They arrested both of us and he looked so much like Tsietsi Mashinini. They immediately said that they have Tsietsi Mashinini who was leading the uprising.
