*:" There were some Goans who lost their lives during the coup."* This is indeed true and some of my Uncle's friends were among the unfortunate victims. What I forgot to mention in my article is how some of the local Africans were given guns and 'forced' to kill. I remember how my Uncle's houseboy never turned up for 3 days after the revolution. When he eventually did, he appeared in a 'drugged-like' state. When I questioned him, he said that he had been ordered to take part in several killings and as proof, showed us some of the l gold ornaments he had snatched from his victims. He seemed quite incapable of working as he previously did and fell into a deep sleep off and on. When questioned, he said he had not slept for days. Mervyn Maciel
