MR MATJILA
In 1985 I met with Cosas members singing at school.  It was the first time I supported them.  I joined the Cosas organisation.  They killed one boy in 1985.  Things went on.  In 1986, it was in December, we were attending a night vigil on 19th Avenue at Jingles Magoti's house.  Whilst we were attending the night vigil we were standing outside.  Policemen arrived.  They had painted their faces in black, they had berets on.  People became scared and they were told they must go inside the house.  They decided they would rather go home to die at their respective homes.  They didn't trust that they would be safe inside the house.  They started throwing tear-gas canisters.  They threw tear-gas canisters and this canister landed in front of me.  This choked me, I inhaled it.  I tried to run away.  When I tried to run away I fell inside a drum.  As I fell inside this drum the policemen were already there.  It was two policemen. Black policemen. I only know one of them.  ALEXANDRA HEARING TRC/GAUTENG

His name is Mtebi.  I don't know the second one.  And four white policemen.  They kicked me.  They hit me with batons as well.  They kicked me many a time.  I think I lost consciousness.  I fainted.  I don't know what happened to these white men.  When I came to I found myself in hospital, at the General Hospital.  They bandaged me on the left shoulder.  I had fractured my arm, my left arm.  They kicked my teeth out as well.  Even in my forehead I was injured.  That is how I was injured.
