CHINOANE SIMON FARISANI
In my case, he's one of those who used to occasionally interrogate me even before I was detained.  And during the torture he came to mock me and he's one of those, I think if I'm not mistaken, who on 8 February 1982, together with - their names they forget conveniently, captain Bezuidenhout who tried to take me to the Magistrate Court and on that day I saw some of my colleagues around the Magistrate Court but, after that, Col Kruger decided I'm not going to go into that court and he took me to Mathatshe or Venda Central Prison.  He played a critical role in hospital because he together with Gerson Ramaburana, after I laid charges against the police, they came to intimidate me and force me to suspend the charges until further notice.  And made it very clear to me that unless I withdrew the charges, they would be forced to chose between me and their Security Police.  And the choice was obvious.  What's also critic is the conspiracy to deny the extent of injuries.  So summarise my own injuries, when I landed at Chilitsini Hospital on 7 January, your Worship, my head was this swollen and Gabriel Ramushwana saw it.  Ramaligela, Managa, Nesamari, they saw it.  My eyes were this swollen and red with blood.  Literally, your Worship, I was breathing through my ears, my mouth was swollen.  Your Worship, if I stood before you there, you can still see marks on my knees, there were deep wounds into which I could put the tips of my fingers.  And the Security Police must tell you what they did with my medical records ...(indistinct) in hospital where I spent all together 106 days.  The X-ray copies would tell you a story what happened to my ribs.  During that time, Mr ...(indistinct) would tell the papers that I was in hospital because I had a headache.  So, I'm not surprised at this minimising of the injuries that we went through.  The station commander, Mr Rambuda, who I saw is here.  He helped nurse my wounds when I was at Sibasa police station.  So, the intensity of the torture was such that my treatment did not only end at Chilitsini, your Worship.  In recuperation I went to the Western Cape, my wife remembers me collapsing at night and being rushed to Victoria Hospital.  I went to Groote Schuur Hospital as follow up to electric shock treatment.  At Venda Central Prison, when I collapsed, my colleagues are here like Chipiwa Mahumela who helped pressurise the police until I was returned to hospital.  Your Worship, I cannot exhaust this story.  Now, one thing they must still tell us, when I was rushed to Madimbo Military Hospital, it was after I received my clothes from home and I suspect some poisoning of those clothes because, it happened both at Masisi and at Venda Central Prison, and every time after I received clothes from home, and when I was transferred from Madimbo Military Hospital to Chilitsini Hospital again, I asked the police to take along all the medicines I got from the military ...(intervention)
