But after the case was completed by the Court, they were released and it was clear that these leaders were still committed leaders of the labour movement.
 So I just wanted to also share that following these events, I spent numerous periods in detention without trial, with the leaders that I mentioned earlier on, Howard Jawa, Thaba Sitholi, Sylvia Benjamin, Henry Molema, Sithisun Mathane, George Malawaya, and in many cases under hunger strike.  
 From 1986 onwards, I was under constant surveillance by the mine security police and the South African Police, and my wife also would be - they would monitor her movements.  At some other stages these people would actually go to our house in Jouberton, No 88/6, when we would be at work, pretending that they are friends and actually to go and see how the set-up is at my place. 
 Mr Chairperson, I know that the statement that you have there does not contain many of these issues highlighted by me there.  I must confess that I have sent a certified copy of what I am going through now, through Olly in your office.  Because what you have there, I have realised that it is short of many other key issues that need to be highlighted here, like the bombings of my house, which is important to me.

windows, the stove, and other furniture was damaged. As I was out of town during that night, my wife reported the matter to the police.  Mr Pelser, who was Lieut Pelser then, came and inspected the damage. He promised to investigate. Up until now nothing has come up.
 I don't want to waste your time, Mr Chairperson. I want also to refer to an incidence that took place on the 15th of February 1991.  On the 15th of February 1991, that was the bombing again of my house, the same house in Jouberton.
