Yes, I can hear you.  On that three months, in arriving at Masise, it is there where I was detained.  I remained there in a certain jail which is about six metres square, if not ten.  Somewhere there.  I was sitting there, I was alone, I was given a blanket.  There were not mats.  There were two small blankets that they gave them to me.  I used to sleep on cement and it was very cold.  During the night they came and took me out.  Then I saw that they were white police and black police men.  If I can show you here on my leg, there is still marks here on my legs.  How I was injured, they inserted wires in which I was electrically shocked and all my body was burning.  They beat me and sent me back to that jail.  Again they came back for the second time.  They took me out to that place again, to the bush.  They were doing everything that they want.  They shocked me with electricity, with batteries there, with electric wires coming into my body.  While I was there, at Masise, I became ill and then they sent me to Trizine Hospital.  Somebody told me that if I eat the food that they give me, they are poisoned.  It is my cousin who told me that the food were poisoned and they will kill me and he had advised me not to eat those food.  I spent two weeks there without eating nor drinking water.  Then they realised that I was dying.  Then they sent me to Trizine Hospital.  Then I was Police guarded, day and night, till I spend three months in solitary confinement.  The building was high.  The windows were black and it was difficult for me to see my hands and there were so many mosquitoes there.  They were biting my legs.  So that to find warmth, I had to try to exercise, so that I can feel some warmth.  Then I left that jail and then by going to the Hospital.  In arriving at the Hospital, they found out I am suffering from an ulcer due to worry.  That was the doctor's statement.  They also said that I am suffering from hypertension and that my ear was not hearing very well.  I was hearing using one ear.  That is how I refused the incorporation to Venda.  I was the middle man telling the people that we are not going to be incorporated into Venda.
