After that I didn't know where I was.  I woke up on the second day when they washed me they washed me with  a hose pipe and I was naked.  They told me that I could go home but they called the boers from Protea, they took me, they gave me over five clouts and they cut my hands and legs.  When I arrived by (Codene?...(indistinct) these were farms and in between them was a railway spoor, it was late in the afternoon and they released me and said I'm free to go home. They said if I go I shouldn't look behind me. I recognised that it was a place that I didn't know and nobody would know, so they arrested me again and put me back in the car.
 When I arrived at Protea they said I must sign forms of releasing me to go back home.  I didn't know anything and I signed. As this was a state of emergency my parents did not know where I was for 14 days.  They put me in a single cell, I was on my own.  Two other boers came at about half past ten at night and interrogated me, asking me if I knew how to use a grenade, which I denied knowing. One of them brought out a grenade and opened it and took out the powder and put it back again and pulled the pin and said I must hold it. They said if I dropped it it would explode.  I asked myself the question how it could explode if there were so many of us including many police. They came back to me and asked if I knew how this thing worked and then took me to the cells and said that I must assist them by revealing the names of other people.  I replied that I didn't know anyone. 
 When I was still there that night the boers were working in shifts, another two came and beat me up in the cell. They took my head and pushed it inside the toilet and kicked me all over with their boots and flushed the water. When I tried to fight back there was another boer, a short one, he had a razor with which he cut my neck and said that even if I died he didn't care. After that I regained consciousness in the general hospital.
