TESTIMONY_GIVER:
 Yes there were reasons for my resignation from the Defence Force.  Firstly, after this incident with my brother I changed and I couldn't work properly any more.  Secondly, I was someone who upon waking up at the camp wouldn't want to speak to my superiors and they couldn't tolerate me.  Thirdly, I saw that there was no other way, that I couldn't tolerate this place any more.  I did what is known as AWOL [absent without leave] and I took leave without having been granted permission at base and I was taken to what is known as a court martial.  This is what came with the whites when they came to Bisho Military Base and that is where I was on trial and I was found guilty and I was sent to prison in East London.  From Fleet Street I was sent to the medium prison and that is where we were taken by the white men at the medium prison and were told that we were now free and that we were being released and that all my army uniforms and everything of mine that belonged to the army I had to give back and that is how I left.
