MS MAKHOKHOBA
He came back, he was not well.  I'd go to Robben Island to visit him before he was released, we would just be given a moment to talk through a glass window.
 He would just ask how the children are and how I was.  Before he came back in 1980 the last time I had gone to see him was in 1979, then they then said that he was going to be released in April.  He got home on the 5th of April.
 I could see that he was not well.  He would not eat.  He said, yes, he is still alive, but he is not well.  He lived the month of April and May his health had just deteriorated and he passed away in May. ... (tape ends)  He said that he had been terribly ill-treated.
 He said that when he was in detention, they would beat him up.  He said that they would be hung on trees, they would sleep there on the tree.  They were then taken to Maritzburg where they were detained before they went to Robben Island and there was a court case.
 He was sentenced in April 1971, I would go home.  He said that what really hurt  him was that before they actually went to Robben Island, the torture was worse.
