GALELEKILE NGAKI
I received training in 1983.  I was trained in East London.  When it was found I had Black Public Relations Officer I had to be trained.  At that time it was a time of the bus boycott.  I was still young.  I was supposed to, I was the one responsible for this.  Since I joined the police I was just a uniformed police.  I never worked for the Special Branch.  I was under the Police Commissioner.  I would get information from different stations and give them to the press.  When something would happen in the different stations on the following day we had to report to the Commissioner and the press would come so that I can say something to them.  My duty was to take these different reports and give them to the press.  If I found a story of both sides I would go to the Commissioner and to the press.
 This was a very difficult job, because I had no right to take a decision or to give my own perspective.  Even if it was not the truth I had no right to change it, but I was told what to tell the press.  I had no right to change it.  Even if the police were lying or they were telling the truth I was supposed to give the information as they gave it to me.
