By that time my father suffered from a serious ulcerated stomach. We resided in Laundry Street, Paarl, next to the Fredericks family for some time. It was more or less the time when I started schooling. Early in 1942, we moved to Waterkant Street, near to the Masjied. By this time most of the older siblings were married already. In 1944 Kulsom married a husband, Hashim Hassim and went to settle in Johannesburg. The other sisters, Gadija, Fatima and Zaynab, were already married and resident in Johannesburg. My brother, Ebrahim had first married a wife, Mariam Vesamian, in Malmesbury, but after her passing away, he remarried in Paarl. He had three sons, Achmad, Yusuf and Isghaak from his first marriage.
