The activist was possibly involved in many bombings, necklacings in Eastern Transvaal where innocent people were killed.  He could also possibly have been involved in limpet mine explosions in Pretoria.  Captain Hechter gave the order that a certain ANC activist who was a member of cell of Harold Sefolo had to be picked up and questioned.  Information was gained from the questioning of Sefolo that he was an ANC activist.  Mamasela told us that he traced the activist in Mamelodi. Mamasela and I went to the man's shack in Mamelodi, I was in the back of the station wagon, we were going with and Mamasela would meet him at a certain point in a house in Mamelodi.  The man came out and got into the vehicle with me and Mamasela.  Mamasela and him were speaking in Tswana about irrelevant things, I have a little knowledge of Tswana.  When got out of the built up area I pushed the gun against his head and I told him that I would shoot him if he moved.  Captain Hechter was then picked up from where he was waiting in a combi with, possibly, Slang.  We put the activist in the combi and we drove off.  Hendrick Nkala was also possibly with them.  Captain Hechter then throttled him with a wire around his neck to get information from him.  After that Captain Hechter and I talked about this incident.  It could have been me as well, I just want to mention that.  He was thereafter throttled, strangled to death and we went to a very deserted road in Bophuthatswana, we put petrol on him and we wanted it to seem as if he had been necklaced.  I suspect that he was already dead when the petrol and the
