TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  We never got the name of the friend.  They did tell us the name, but I have forgotten it already.  The friend enticed him to a certain spot, where there were other members of Special Branch who were waiting for him.  This friend of his went away with him with the intention that they were going to a UDF meeting at M Section in Umlazi.  According to rumours they never went to the meeting, but they apparently went to a certain place where there was a group of people who were called Amabutho.  When they saw Thubelihle together with his friend they chased Thubelihle.  There is a place called GO, a taxi rank where there were taxis, and they chased him towards a certain place, and they were all armed when they were chasing Thubelihle.  According to the rumour that we have they were having assegais as well as other traditional weapons.  They chased him up until a place called Ebukweni.  That is where he got tired.  And they started stabbing him and assaulting him.  When my neighbour tried to intervene they turned and they threatened him, and they told him that they were going to burn his house down, he must keep away from the whole issue.  They kept on stabbing Thubelihle with assegais and chopping him with all other sorts of weapons, and that's when he died on that spot.  He had 52 holes.  He had also been chopped with an axe on the head.  His whole body was full of holes.  His eyes, his body, his feet, his legs.  Even animals are not killed in this manner.  He was actually slaughtered.  I got him at the mortuary at Gale Street.  What was even more nauseating and unbelievable, if you could have seen his body you would not have believed that the people were normal, that they could kill a young person, a 15-year-old, in the manner that they did.
