MR YANTA
In 1986, in June, I was coming from George, coming to Maritzburg and I arrived there on a Tuesday.  And I was arrested on the Wednesday at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and I was with my cousin, Nelson  Bonase.  
Policemen came in a hippo - and they said they wanted to ask us something so I asked them why they couldn't ask us where we were and they said no they want us to go down.  So they put us all into the hippo and we drove down to the police station and there they took out a list of names of people and - and inquired from me whether I knew these people.  
Then I said no I didn't know them because I had just come there, then one policeman said - he wanted to see me aside and he took me to a small office and he again said - asked me about the people and I told him I didn't know these  people and he left me there.
He brought two others and there were three of them.  One of the policemen said I was taking time to talk and I was certainly going to tell the truth.  One policeman took - kicked me here on the leg with a boot - boot and I ran towards a corner because we were in a small room and another one took me out of that corner and I was running all over the room.  Two of them held my hands together and I put my legs together. 
They kicked me on my legs until they were swollen but I tried to protect my face, but it did not end there because there was another one who was administering an electric shock on me.  Then I stood on a trunk but they asked me to get of that  trunk but I said I couldn't.  Then one of the policemen suggested that they should tie me, then I sat down in that small office.  
Then I said they should kill me then, because I didn't know what they were actually - wanted from me.  Then one suggested that they should put me into a cell where I would rot.  So I spent on a - a night there in the cell.
On Friday - I cannot recall the time - they took us into a very big white van and drove us to the location.  And they surrounded us there at the location with - they had  sjamboks - and there  were trenches there - trenches and they were asking that we should dig this trenches.  Then I asked them why,  they were also very big stones that they were instructing that we should carry them and put them into this van. 
 We tried to do this so as to put them into these trenches and then - after some time -  they took us back to the cell.  The following week - at about 2 -  on a Tuesday they took us because there were others who had been arrested.  They put us into a van sending us to George, so we drove past Graaff-Reinet and in Graaff-Reinet they decided to send us to Port Elizabeth.  And they sent us to St Albans  prison where they locked us up and we were only released in September but I cannot quite tell on what day it was.
  And even there we were ill treated, we would be sleeping then they would wake us up and they would take us to some other sections - that is what they were doing until we got released.  When I was released I had a chest problem, then I went to Dr Russell who helped me and then I got this problem sorted out.  I don't  become happy when ever I think of this incident, then - that's the end of my story.
