MR MBEKELA
I can say so because the situation at that time, you wouldn't separate between the authorities and the police, because when I told the superintendent in the hospital that I'm not going to spend the night, we fought because he wanted me to spend the night there.  I told him that it was my right not to do so if I don't want to spend the night. Other people were allowed that right, and I told him that because Roland also advised me in front of him, he told me that the security police were in the hospital, they were looking for me.
 He didn't treat me well, he didn't use cotton wool, he just put elastoplaster on my wounds but there were other people who sympathised with me especially from other places. After that I was arrested under the State of Emmergency.  I was charged with arson, murder of the police. You can not run away from the fact that after this incident people were very angry. The police who are will remember that all the police were chased away from the township.  They accused me of instigating the Sithule(?) people that the police were to be chased away.
 Some of the charges were dropped while I was arrested under the state of emmergency but I recovered when I was in prison.  All in all Mr Chairperson, I would say the Superintendent was in connection with the police.  He also played a role and if it is possible I would like him to come forward to the Commission to say if I spoke the truth or what, but I think now he is in Port Elizabeth.
