Well, he tried to detain me for divulging, for giving information concerning myself, but I told him that I do not know you and you are supposed to identify yourself before I do that and Hinsa Siwisa approached again.  He asked me what is wrong and I told him, no, these people are constantly harassing us.  He told me that we are supporting a banned organisation, a terrorist organisation, but I have explained time and again that we are busy with the launch of the Buffalo Flats Youth Congress, a sub-branch of SAYCO at the time.  Hence, they interfered, they left and then we were notified that they were harassing the neighbours supplying us with electricity supply.
 In the meantime we were organising a generator and I was posted with two marshals to go and have a look at what is going on outside.  On our arrival there the other security policemen were harassing these neighbours, giving them their, supporting a banned organisation, a terrorist organisation and I interfered and said, no, do not mislead people.  We are launching the Buffalo Flats Youth Congress and even so the ANC flag has never been banned.  You have been sending our people to prison for the wrong reasons.  Even your (indistinct) have acknowledged that and he harassed me pushing me around and I told him do not push me around and I shoved him one side and he pulled a plug, unplugging the electricity supply.  We left, because we knew that we had a generator ready.  
 They were so frustrated and telling me that, in Afrikaans, "julle is nogal slimgatte" and I said, no, do not use vulgar language, but what is your problem?  He said, yes, "julle raak nou nes die kaffirs" and he smacked me and I asked him what are you hitting me for and I pushed him back and then I was nearly tramped by Venter in a brown Sierra.  I jumped out of the way and just got out of the car.  He smacked me and kicked me and asked me what is your problem and he told me that we are detaining you under Section 29 of the Internal Security Act.  I said, well, in that case then I have problem.  I went and he hit me with the fist behind my neck and he kicked me into the car.
