I was still staying with this granny that I am staying with today.  It was during that time, in 1985 on February the 3rd I was arrested because there was a member of the police who was murdered.  I was fetched from home being accused and they said to me, no you killed a policeman.  I said no I didn't take part in anything.  I wanted to have a picture of exactly what happened.  
 On the day when they arrived they were driving caspers.  They were all around the town looking for me.  Well when I arrived at home they were not there anymore, everything wasn't in its position.

Whites were really kicking me.  I was now taken into solitary confinement.  That is where I used to get just one light from a torch.
