After they have briefed us, we left, we went to Botshabelo police station.  When we arrived there, we met with the members of the Botshabelo police station.  We then went, proceeded to detain the comrades.  We detained plus minus 40 - 45 comrades from different houses.
	At the time when we were busy arresting or detaining them,  we broke the doors from various houses and the window panes of those house from those we didn't find them in the houses.  We assaulted or beat members of the families so that they should tell us the whereabouts of those we wanted and they were not in the houses.
	After we detained them all, all those comrades, we took them to Botshabelo police station, where we detained them at the controlled yard at Botshabelo police station.
	Warrant Officer Mbanjani as the person who was working in Botshabelo, was the one who was identifying those he thought were leaders of the comrades, among those who were detained.  Colonel Stevenson asked those comrades who were detained as whether they would govern Botshabelo.
	When they didn't respond to his questions, he said members of the Riot Squad should bring the plastic sjamboks.  When they arrived with those plastic sjamboks, Warrant Officer Mbanjani instructed those comrades to undress themselves and that they should be naked in other words.
	And that they should form a circle.  And then again, members of the Riot Squad should form a circle and that the comrades should run around that circle, whilst they were beaten with those sjamboks.  They were beaten on the head, on the body, everywhere where we able to beat them.
	After they were tired to run around and after we have assaulted them for some time, Warrant Officer Killian and Warrant Officer Koka said we should change the method of assaulting or beating or torturing.
	He said we should tie the knots on the ends of those sjamboks.  After we have tied those knots, we should hit those comrades on their private parts.  Because of hitting them with those knots on the private parts, some of the comrades were bleeding on their private parts.
	Some of them, their private parts were swollen.  Whilst they were screaming and holding their private parts, Warrant Officer Mbanjani said we should instruct them to make exercises and then each comrade should do 100 push ups and frog jumps and other kinds of exercises which we are able to make them do.
	If they are not able to complete 100 push ups, we should start again to beat and kick them.   If all those comrades were beginning to be weak and not able to continue, and lying on the floor, he said we should pour water on them and leave them there so that they should be detained and be able to make a cover up for those torture.
	The members of the Security Branch who took part in the torture of the comrades in Botshabelo, the list is as follows:  It is Lieutenant Shaw, Lieutenant Erasmus, Warrant Officer Ramoseu, Warrant officer Tsoametsi, Warrant Officer Killian, Warrant Officer Koka, Sergeant Mamome, Warrant Officer Cronje, Warrant Officer Swanepoel, Constable Motsamai and myself and Constable Mtyala.  That is my testimony in that regard.
