MILILE IVEN VELAKHE
In 1985 under the Sebe regime, Mr Sebe was an authoritative leader.  In our village, Nkqonkqweni, on the same date, on the 14th of September the youth took the Sinnip membership cards from the people.  We were still young boys at the time.  We were still playing boys.  This happened while we were playing together with others.  We saw people coming towards us.  We were playing together with my friends.  They took our tyres, because we were playing with them.  We followed them.  We did not know where they were going, but we just followed them.  We also climbed in this vehicle.
 The police came with their Ford Sierras, a powder blue and white Ford Sierra.  They were coming towards us.  People were saying, were telling us not to run.  We were in the back of this group.  I just saw people dispersing and I heard gunshots all over.  I also ran away.  While we were being chased by the police there was one police who approached me.  He shot in the air telling me to stop.  I did not stop, because I told him that you are going to beat me.  He then assaulted me with the rifle butt.  I fell down.  After that he beat me with sjambok and then the police left me there.  One other police came.  He asked me, who are you.  I could not talk, because I was swollen up.
