THABO JOSEPH DIKOKO
In 1985 I was working at the Protea Pharmacy.  Because I wasn't schooling at that time.  On Thursday morning when I was on my bicycle to work, at the bridge, past the Indian centre, there was a Skyline car.  These were the new Skylines on the market.  He came very close.  When I was still on my way to town, then I realised that they are not overtaking. It seems they want to push me out of the road.  Then I get on riding until I got to work.  When I arrived at work, then they entered also.  Then I began to realise that these people are members of the security forces.  Then I rushed to the owner of the pharmacy.  Then I said to him these people are members of the security force and they are coming to fetch me, would he please deny. Then he said to me there is nothing he can do, if the security forces are there they have to do their work.  Then they told him that they want to meet this guy.  He agreed.
 Then we entered the car.  Then they took me to the river.  It was outside the boundaries of where people are working. I was handcuffed.  Then they began to beat me with their fists and everything that I should tell them that what was happening in the township.

The beating went on.  After two, I don't remember well. From there they made me enter the Skyline again.  Then they showed me a sack, a bag which is full of fresh blood, because that blood was

 Thereafter they took me to the police station.  There are rooms in the police station at the back.
