now the next time the whole congregation from Thabong as well as Bronville arrange a
day and say we are meeting at this particular church and have a service there.
Albert: Ons gaan dan nie eers St. Helena toe, wat ons buurgemeente is nie. As ons sê
ons het 'n gesamentlike diens by St. Helena, dan bly die ouens by die huis.

as witmense wat deel was van die proses, word ons ook nog gesien as 'n bedreiging,
as deel van die ou regime se onderdrukkers? Ja dit is maklik om so 'n groepe so 'n
probleem te probeer oplos, onthou die getalle, die verhouding van wit teenoor swart
teenoor bruin dan wonder ek, ek vra myself die vraag af, ek het nie in beginsel 'n
probleem met wat Quincy gesê het nie, ek dink dit is 'n goeie idee. Maar wil die
