"... took my hand and he asked me whether I trusted him and I said I did.  He told me to regard the security police as my friends and he touched the corner of my eye which was battered and bruised.  I was incoherent and unable to make a statement.  He took me back to my cell. At 5 o'clock in the morning Van Wyk and Sandberg appeared in the cell, still triumphant.   They said they would be back at 6.00 but they never came.  Later I learnt that the pair of them then went on to a comrade and then eventually a co-accused in another cell, Allan Brookes.   They also beat him and Sandberg sat on Allan and twisted his ankle until it broke.   I had just turned 23 and I learnt them the difference between fear and terror.  There were friends and comrades outside in Cape Town.   They managed to establish clandestine contact with me.  They had heard of my interrogation and urged me to make a statement."
