at about half past eight, because we left Lorato at eight o'clock. We got into the shaft and he took out a grenade.  He said it is an F1 grenade.  Then he took out a Makorov as well. He said he would show and train us in these.  He showed us how to operate the machinery. He said we must be careful because it is deadly. What happened is that there was a box in the corner of the room.  That box looked very suspicious.   When I looked at the box I just heard an explosion.  I thought it was our mistake, because the last person with the grenade was Njinga.  When I heard the explosion I cried out to Njinga because I thought he was the one who had made a mistake.  We were injured.  Even the building fell down.  The people who died immediately are Bimbo and Njinga.  
 Fanela was next to me. We could not see each other, but we could speak to each other. He could not see or walk. I was bleeding.  Fanela was lying down on my left side.
 What is very painful to remember is that he had a hole in his body, because my hand went into his body as I was trying to communicate with him. 
 After a while I got up.  As I got up I called Fanela and he responded.  He was still alive at the time.  I tried to scream, but nobody heard.
 At the morning about six o'clock I fainted.  In the morning it was very cold when I woke up. I called out to Fanela, Fanele did not respond.  I realised that he had passed away.
 At about nine o'clock in the morning the police came.  Mr Nkosi was one of the policemen.  They asked for my identity.  They asked what I was doing there.  I told them we had gone to see a Milly Jackson show and some people

picked us up.  They then said I was being deceptive.  They took me to Lorato Hospital. They put plasters on my leg and they treated me.  Then they took me to prison.  Before they took me to jail I could not see.  They took me to a field, I could sense that I was walking on grass.  There was one man who took out a gun and put it into my mouth. He said I must tell them who I was with and what we were doing.  I told them that two men took us, a black man and a white man, they said they are taking us to a stadium.
 The reason why I said there was a white man, I thought that they would assume that this white man wanted to kill us.  They put me in jail.  They tortured me, kicking me in jail.  They wanted to know who I was with.  I tried to deny everything. I told them that we were going to the Colloseum.   Slowly I recovered, my eyes opened, I went back to hospital.  After four weeks I got a visitor.  My grandmother who passed away in 1985.  
 I was charged in the sixth week of my detention. I appeared in court.  They said I was in possession of explosives.  I got R500,00 bail.  I came back to Lorato Hospital because my leg was still injured. I was admitted to hospital. They put a plaster of paris on my leg and on my right arm.  I regularly went to court and I was acquitted.  Because a major from Krugersdorp prison testified that the police were torturing me. He would hear me when I screamed. He helped me.  That is why I was acquitted.  That was that.
 In 1985 I was arrested once more, under the state of emergency.  I was sentenced in 1987, October, under the Explosives Act. I went to Robben Island and I was released on the 15th of December 1990.
