Description: The people of Paballelo in Upingtonhadabig party. They started celebrating on Thursday 30 May and they carried on right through the week-end. They were happy because their friends were home, home from death row in jail. Perhaps some readers will remember reading a story in Upbeat last year about Evelina de Bruin. She was one of the people from Upington on death row. She was also one of the people set free on the 30 May. The first thing that Evelina did when she stepped out of prison was to hug her children that she had missed so much. ‘I feel the same now, seeing my children as I did when I saw them for the first time as newborns,’ said Evelina. Next Evelina gave her husband, Gideon Madlongwane a big hug. Gideon had also just been freed from death row. Evelina still says she was innocent. ‘I heard about the death of the policeman while I was doing my washing,’ said Evelina. ‘I was shocked when I was arrested. But I was not afraid. I knew Gideon and I had done nothing. I never dreamt that we would spend three and a half years in jail.’ Evelina’s lawyers are happy and angry. They feel that she shouldn’t have gone to jail in the first place. But they are happy that their appeal against the death sentences of the 14 people from Upington has been overturned.
