JOHANNES BONAS
Yes, I can explain.  In 1986 when I got to Richmond, I - there was a boycott, workers boycott, and people were holding a meeting there so I went there with my luggage.  Whilst we were standing outside in a group, policemen came driving in a hippo.  And we alerted those inside, the policemen came and did not say anything, they just chased and dispersed us throwing tear gas.
   I ran away and I decided to throw my luggage because it was very heavy - there were two bags I was carrying.  When I was next to Ms Mokoba's house that's where I was shot with a rubber bullet.  I ran away but before that I fell on my face and hit a - a fence.  I woke up and ran away - that is when the police arrested me and they beat me severely and I had two wounds on my head.  They took me - beating me - and they took me into the hippo and even there they satisfied themselves kicking me vigorously and they took me to Golfgrond - took me into a van and drove me to the police station.  There is a place called Bertie Theron - this person pulled by the neck and by the belt, hitting me on the face and then he took me and threw me into the police station. 
 And then he told Archie Du Plessis that I was there and then they took me to him.  Then he asked me about GP Kalolo - what was his position there in the location and about another principal called Mntanbu.  He asked them and I said I did not know these people because I had just come and they asked where I came from.  I did not tell them that I was coming from Cape Town, I said I was coming from the Transkei and they asked where about, then I told them I was coming from  [indistinct]  and they said I was telling a lie I knew these people and they took me and they locked me in.
In the cell it was wet, then I asked them to take me to a doctor but they refused and I was there until 4 o'clock and they took me to a doctor.  And they explained to Basson that he should not examine me,  he should just give me an injection and also pain tablets.  Then they took me back to the cell and they were telling me that Mandela was not going to do anything for me, I was trying to make myself Jesus Christ, dying for other peoples sins.  Then they took me and they locked me in.
They took me back wanting to find about these two people including this principal and I insisted that I knew nothing about these people because  I had just come.  Then they said I was stubborn, they should lock me in.  Alfred came together with Thabo and they said I was making myself  a Jesus Christ but I did not - I  ignored them.  Then they gave me two blankets, they went for the blankets - I just couldn't help myself, I couldn't even make a bed - and later on Thabo helped me to make this sleeping place and he gave me a lot of blankets and he used to bring pills for me.
I was there for fourteen days, one week in the police station and one week there in the jail.  After a while comrades came to pay bail for R1,000-00 and I went home.  Two days there after Jipie Kalolo took me and [indistinct]  with another doctor - to another doctor who examined and helped me and then I went back home.
I used to go to the police station to report in the morning and in the evening and I complained to the lawyer because I felt I couldn't be doing this up and down as I was ill and so he managed to stopped this and so I kept at home.  And then they said I was going to visit and go to Pretoria then I ran away and went to Beaufort West.  I would only go back there one the days I had to appear in court and the Magistrate found - found me not guilty. I had done nothing to the policemen.  We forwarded a claim but this claim was dismissed, they said it was late, then I went back home.  So that is as far as my story goes.  One add -  additional - additional fact  is that I did not get my clothes back.
