The

10th of February, pivotal day in your life. Yeah. Tell me about that day. Man. 1990.

Yeah, I was talking to someone about it because it's a story that it was, for years, hard for me to share, you know, and I'm in a better space now. I'm able to talk about it. Street grandmother. We're at home on the 10th, which was like around eight at night. And she was super strict. No one comes out the house that late. We were sitting in the house. I think after dinner, we hear like people singing outside. We all come out. Everyone comes out to see what's happening and it was people singing there were a group of people about to pass our house we ran to the crowd with my cousins you know we were not allowed to but this was nice so there wasn't a big thing even I mean for her but my cousins went back. I didn't. Why? Music. So I followed the crowd. And the reason this was happening is because on the 11th of February, Nelson Mandela was officially coming out of jail after 27 years. So there was like tribulations around the entire country. This was happening in all the major cities where people were like, we're going to stay up all night until the morning, you know, of his release. So this crowd was going to a stadium, which is close to my house. That's where the camping was going to be, the singing until the morning in the stadium. So they went on the streets, basically, gathering more crowds. And we were now close to the stadium. And just out of nowhere, we just heard this sound. And it was a car. It just came out of nowhere, lights just rammed through the crowd um so i was i was not in the front but i was maybe like 20 percent in and i just blacked out um and people were screaming and when i woke up um there was fire you know people were angry so basically this driver switched off the lights to literally just kill people with his car and um so they bent the car well they bent the guy too They burned the guy? Yeah. They pulled him out of the car and killed him? Yeah, literally. And he stayed there for hours, actually, without anyone coming for him. Because I remember this happened around four in the morning. Went to a hospital around 30 minutes later, the cars took us to hospital. I came back from the hospital around seven, eight. He was still there, like not even covered. His car, he was still lying there on the ground. That cost his life and someone else's life who was also in the crowd. So by that time, I mean, it's seven in the morning, I'm back from hospital. The announcement happens, Nelson Mandela is finally out of jail. We're watching this from TV. I'm sitting on the couch, you know, there's just chaos in the country, people are so happy. This man is finally out. And I was on the couch in pain, you know, after the accident. And I think what really happened to me, I don't think the car reached to me. I don't think the car touched me. I think the force of the people that were in front, because of the impact, they pushed so hard. So what happened is I dislocated my shoulder, but severely. I had no bruises, no cards.
