JABULANI AMON MTWALO
We were kept in the shack.  I tried to untie this wire in an effort to escape and I managed to.  I also did untie the one on the feet and the other three cried to me that I should do the same with them and I was trying to untie the wires.  One woman stood by the door, came towards the door and said: 'here, the thugs are trying to escape.'  I don't know her [indistinct] I only know her from sight.  As I was trying to untie, they came back those men, they found that I was free and when they arrived they got inside the shack.  The one tried to hit me with an axe and it hacked right on the corrugated iron.  The axe hung on the corrugated iron - in other words he could not hit me.
