Solomon Mahlangu was one of the many UDF comrades who got a taste of Mbokodo’s venom. He too was taken to the Siyabuswa hall and tortured. // At about 6 pm. They came at the chief minister of that time, mister SS Skosana. Then he asked me several questions then he said to me. ”Mister Mahlangu if you are here, if you are going to tell those people the honest truth then you must know that maybe sometimes you can be safe, but if you are not going to tell them the truth know very well that you are not going home, you are going to be killed.” By that time, there after I was started to be beaten by those Mbokodo youth brigades. But firstly I started to being punched by this man who’s called Mabena. He was one of the bodyguards of the ministers, mister Piet Ntuli. And then I was beaten by those people and they were having pick axes. Some of them were having guns; some of them were wearing sjamboks. They were having many things and some of the members of the vigilante group … they were wearing balaclavas, because I cannot see them clearly. But those whom I can see them clearly, it was John Mahlangu and this one, mister Mabena and some of their children who were there inside.
