MADISHA, Thapelo Donald Dudu

Age

Description
He died in police custody in Potgietersrus, Transvaal, on 1 June 1990. He was detained on 17 January 1990 and allegedly resisted intimidation to turn state witness. Notes smuggled out by fellow inmates allege that by May 1990 Mr Madisha was screaming and hallucinating without receiving medical attention. He was not allowed any visits. Post mortem results revealed that despite allegedly having hanged himself, death was not immediate and that Mr Madisha was allegedly left to die by police.
