Special Report Transcript Episode 23, Section 4, Time 18:09

Siphiwo and Yibawathi were two of Noupoort’s young foot soldiers. The late Chris Hani, leader of MK was their hero. When they were detained they told their interrogators that they were fighting for Nelson Mandela’s release. The police mocked their militant dreams, but they were also severely punished for daring to act on them. // They drive you to a place and put you in water. They ask you all sorts of questions. They’ll ask you do you know that you are breaking the law by your actions. // They put us in the boot. They drive. Luckily then I saw the farm where I was punished. They put us in bags and then they throw us in the water. // Are the bags tied? // The bag is tied. They throw us in the water. After that they take us out. And then they electrocute us on the stomach. After that, they tie the bags to the fender of the car then they drive. We roll like this; we roll just like that over the stones. That sort of thing works in the head.
