TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  Yes, I went to Ladybrand.  They said to me there is a pass office or a commissioner's office here in Ladybrand.  When I arrived at the commissioner's office he didn't welcome me well.  He said I should go and meet the detectives first.  I went to the detectives.  When I arrived there they communicated with me well.  They gave me newspapers, they put me aside, then they monitored which pages I was reading on the newspapers.  I pretended as if I had interest in the sports pages.  So I sat there the whole day.  At last at dusk I was told to leave.  Then I asked them how - I did explain my situation that my passport has expired, and then again I have children in Lesotho just to leave, and I am here at Ladybrand.  Where should I go?  I don't have a house in Ladybrand, my family is in Lesotho.  There is a certain coloured man.  I want to thank that person who has provided me with accommodation in his house.  And then the following day I returned.  My feelings guided me to go back to the Security Branch to show them my innocence, and that they should give me permission.  On the following day I had problems, because I went to that office.  On my departure I was surprised.  I was kicked, I was clapped, where even my left ear burst, then all the time I go to the doctor and my ear is full of a pus.  I was kicked, then I was assaulted.  But what I remember is that the person who was assaulting me - Nompanwe was there, who was one of the police and he is staying at Bloemfontein.  He was a member of the Security Branch.  I ran to the charge office.  There is a section of the Security Branch and the uniformed police station.  The person who helped me at the charge office is a certain white person who was dressing in a grey suit.  He just said to them, "This person looks innocent," because this CID was always following me.  But this policeman said, "This person looks innocent.  It might be possible that he is telling the truth that he is legally married and he has children."  That is then that they said to me that I should go to the commissioner's office.  Then they prepared papers for me, they took me to the bridge at the border gate.  But my ear was not well ... (inaudible - end of Side B, Tape 1, beginning of Side A, Tape 3) ... period of 1971.
