MR NOFOMELA
When we got to Vlakplaas we met Mr De Kock who was there and other whites.  They questioned him intensively about his brother and he continuously denied his whereabouts. De Kock was angry and was shouting and assaulting him until he said to us he is not telling the truth, hit him.  We assaulted him, all of us, myself, Johannes Mbelo, Moses Nzimande and other whites, whose names I cannot remember, who were also present there.  They also assaulted him.  At some stage he spoke about his relatives saying that some of his relatives lived at a certain place and at that stage De Kock said that I should start writing down what he was saying.  He was speaking Afrikaans.  When he was being assaulted he was speaking in Setswana and between Mbelo and myself one of us had to interpret what he was saying.  I started interpreting and I was told to stop and start recording what was being said.  De Kock said I must stop interpreting and start writing down and Mbelo started interpreting.  At that stage he was being assaulted by De Kock and the other whites.  While I was writing there came a time where De Kock wanted a canister of teargas.  I think he went to fetch it from the back of his car and he brought it and he said that we should tie Japie Maponya

round his eyes and we blindfolded him, myself and Johannes Mbelo.  I cannot remember too well if we tied his hands as well.  There was a kombi similar to these that sell ice-cream which we called the A-team, because it didn't have any windows, which was also there.  Mbelo was told to fetch it when we got there.  He was instructed by  De Kock.  We then put him into this kombi and he took his canister of teargas and sprayed it on  his nose and closed his nose and he remained inside coughing in the kombi.  I cannot say how long that went on for, but it was quite a while.  After a while he opened up the kombi and let him out, dragging him out and  threw him on the ground.  He was not talking at that stage while he was lying on the ground.  There came a time where he asked me whether this person would be able to - Major De Kock asked me if this person would be able to recognise me at a future stage and I said yes, and he told me do not worry my China he won't see you again.  He said that in Afrikaans.  And then he said to us we should go, myself and Moses Nzimande and Johannes Mbelo, he said we should go and I then went with him and we left him there with those whites and Japie.  After a while I heard from Willem Nortje that Japie was killed by De Kock and company in Swaziland.
