I was an accused in a departmental trial, they got the most senior magistrate, which always pulled the chestnuts out of the fire for them, as explained by Brigadier second in charge of security to my advocate a well-known lawyer for human rights.

They got him to preside, it was one of the biggest police trials ever in history. They got three policemen on the prosecution side. or three prosecutors on the prosecution side, one was a professor in law of the university, one was a captain in the police and one a brigadier. And one of

the witnesses, star witnesses: Mister Craig Williamson. And eventually I was HB 10658 found guilty on four or five charges: behaving in a manner unbecoming to

Whenever I applied for a job, Johan Coetzee andinterfered, and said...because I was top qualified for private companies: dog handler, on the mines, security, I mean guys were just eager to take me, hell here's a guy that's got a lot of experience...said "Don't touch." So I was doing a lot of piecemeal work until November '89 when Almond Nofomela spoke on the night of 19 November 1989, an ex-colleague of mine, a black colleague of mine on Death Row, that was to be executed the next morning on the 20th, who stayed behind on Vlakplaas, who committed
