I would explain it quite broadly to the Commission.  I do not believe that they were arrested because whatever was done by this gangster would not be seen as an offence.  They would not be arrested. You would not know what happened about their case.  For example after we were arrested in 1991, the same year explosives were found in Mr Phelane's house.  He was arrested but later bailed.  We do not know what happened.  Nobody knows what happened about the trial.  Himself and the police know what happened.
	Many other activities done by those gangsters, when reaching the ears of the police would end there. Even in court such things would not be dealt with because this gangster assisted the Boers to oppress the black people, because  they shut the ANC down in Brandfort. They did such kind of operations, nothing happened about them. I can make an example again.  Accused No 8 who died in my trial Zola Christian Bosman, he's accused No 8 in my case.  After Zola was released from trial, the attorney general released him because there wasn't adequate evidence at our trial.  After two months of his release he left for Johannesburg for about two weeks. On his return at Brandfort he had an argument with Edward Phelane's son and he was shot with Zola.  When the comrades explained the following day that the person who shot Zola Bosman was Sibikhoto.  The very witness was arrested and lashed and assaulted and the blame was laid on him.  As ANC members we knew quite well that he was the person, this Edward Phelane who killed Christian Bosman.
	The police when investigating, or rather dealing with the inquest of Christian Bosman, we never heard of the suspect regarding Christian Bosman's murder.  The person who was questioned about Zola's death was Morgan Phelane. I want to put this that the police knew very well who the killer was, and I'm referring here to Zola's killer or murderer.
