TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  Right at that time the soldiers were coming running, approaching us.  We were standing there and scared, wondering what was happening.  You know we were preparing to go to school.  I was attending school.  I was schooling at Shumayela at section Q, Umlazi.  At that time when the police approached those who were in front of us, we saw them running, coming back, and we also ran.  We ran to section Z, because now they were shooting, they started shooting.  When we got there we could not - they closed the door.  They closed the gate.  We could not get through the premises.  And when we were looking around we could see the soldiers now.  They were there.  They told us that we should just climb up and come up to them.  There was an open space there like a parking - like a park sort of place.  That's where they told us to go to, and they told us to lie down on our stomachs and sleep, and just lie there.  And there was a lining where you hang your laundry on, and they used that lining and they were hitting us, assaulting us, beating us.  They took us into Malugazi, where we were, and there were police already who were in there.  They were SAP using some vans.  They were also driving one white Sentra.  Those soldiers came and they handed us over to the station commander, and he is still a station commander at Umbilo Police Station.  And they handed us over to two policemen by the name of Naidoo and Reddy.  We went with three other soldiers whom I could not see their names, because they did not have their name tags on.  They took us home.  On the way they were assaulting us still using the guns, the back of the guns, and still that wire that they were using, electric wire.   When we got home there were no people there.  There was no one at home.  The house was just to let.  They kicked the door and they could not find anyone at home.  We went on to Bongani's place, who was mentally disturbed already at that time from the assault.  You know, each time they asked him questions he could not answer, he could not even understand what they were saying.  I had to answer on his behalf.  When we got to his place the house was to let.  There was on one at home.  We went back to where the vehicles were parked, and they told Naidoo, who was the driver driving one of the vans, telling him to get into his van and he will follow us.  He was driving in front of us with other police and other soldiers that he was with.  And they went to the people that we were fighting, that is Inkatha, and the van that we were in followed.  We found them so many, numerous in number, and that place was a playground before, and there was an Indian school just around that place.  And it's still there even now.  When we got there the Inkatha members were there packed.  There were weapons like butcher's knives, and guns as well.  The van drove in and parked there, and there were soldiers that just arrived, who were not there where we were coming from.  You see we were with Mr Nxumalo, who was a constable, a black constable, and Mr Reddy, who was an Indian police, and also Naidoo, who was driving.  We were in this van.
