MALOSI LEHOBYE
In 1980 I was a leader of the students in Megagatsi High School, we had a strike.  Mr Molope came with the police.  Without talking to us, we assembled at the assembly area and I was addressing those students when Mr Molope and his police arrived, then he gave an instruction that we should be beaten.
	When the students were beaten I went to him then I wanted to talk to him because according to me it was not necessary for the police to interfere with the school issues because those issues were not political, because we were saying why in Megagatsi, because it's an old school, we who come from the townships we should pay building funds.  We were asking for what building fund?  The principal called the police and then the police started beating the students.  I was doing what a leader was supposed to do.  I approached him so that I should request to him that I don't see a reason why the police should do what they were doing.  Then what your parent did, he pushed his baton in my mouth then he said: "Shut up because" and he knew me.  It's what he did on that day.
