“We view this and as Satawu as we speak. there are two many members that have been injured..we are going to open a case and we need further steps to be taken. because we are here peacefully, singing harming no one but now to ourselves we said that now this is really provoking. you can’t shoot this thing. because in our oldest time when were toyi-toying in the locations these things would be used only if there was violence.
