FREDERICK EMMANUEL HUFKIE
Comrade Chair, I think I should start when I entered Fort Hare in the late 30's, the early 40's, and that is where I met the present President, Nelson Mandela and the late Oliver Tambo. So that was a great privilege  for me to have been with them at university.  When I left there I entered the teaching profession and I became a member of the Teachers' League of South Africa the Unity Movement.  I also had friends in the Communist Party, I taught with them but I never became member of the Communist Party.  In any event I was associated with those who opposed the government at the time and the apartheid system and I was being harassed and intimidated to a considerable extent during my early years as a school teacher until 1976 when I was detained for the first time.  I don't know whether you want me to continue further in this trend Comrade Chair.
