are put in isolation? ,las there no tr ial , enquiry anything like

that? -- Your Worship the procedure there is that a person is

j ust taken and put into isolation and i! the prison authorities

want to discuss t he ma tter , then they come to the i solation block

as it happened in my case.

Let us hear who came? -- Major Bosho!! came bOme

was he accompanied by anybody? -- He was accompanied by a

Black warder.

Who? - - It is One of those that I do not know, he does not

come in the yard.

Where would w. find him , have you any idea? -- He is most

of the time in the isolation section.

(10)

And does he work permanently in the prIson? Is he still

there now? -- I am unable to say he is still there Your Worship

because I was then removed. from that prison to another section

of the prison from where I had been taken to be brought here.

Did this Black gentleman act as interpreter to Mr. BOs-

hoff? -- Yes .

What was the discll8s1on about? With His Worship's consent

I invite you to describe it in detail? -- Your \torship if a (20)

priaoner is detained in holation, his ticket, prison ticket,

is p l aced on the outSide of the door, and during the day when

the door 1s opened, one cannot see the ticket because the door

1s opened in such a way that the ticket goes between the wall

and the open door. So Major Boshof! came to me and asked me

why I was being held thete . I then said to him it is alleged

that I wrote a letter and I further denied to him having written

a letter. He then responded by saying ·oh, you are the person

who wrote those things that I have on my table in the office . ·

I agreed to that. (30)

write such things because such things would 'let me into trouble.

He then further told me that "you are not here in this prison

to come anc! look a t what is happening." He said to me I would

serve that punishment and then he warned me strictly to lesve

!:his thing and I agreed that I would nOt do it again. He then

pardoned me, he said I would be released from isolation, which

in f act happened.

Did it happen on that day? - - Yes.

After you ' ve been there about 6 days? -- Yes. (10)

Did you know Major BOshoif from before? -- Yes, I've known

hIm .

And you could anc! can identify him? -- Yes.

Just to return to alitttle bit of your history, you told

1115 Worship .. no let me put it this way, it is clear from the

eVidence you .. from your replies to lIis Worship ' s questions,

that you met Stanley Radebe a very long time ago in Alexandra

Township . -- Yes.

Are you able to remember how many times? -- NO I am unable

You have referred to one inCident, might there have been

others? -- This is possible.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS

WITNESS: If I may just say thiS Your Worship?

COURT: What is that? -- The eVidence that I have given in !:his

Court Your Worship, is putting my own life in danger. I was

removed from the isolation block and taken to the other section

of the prison on Major a08hoff ' s instructions , and there I

asked for h09pitaluation, because of injuries that I sustained

whilst I was 1n t he hands of the detectives, and at the hos-(30)

As a result of this treetJnent I hed to consult a fellow prison­

er who is a witch doctor who gave me some primitive sort of

mediclltion by cutting mo:' at the back .

persons , 11m unable to embark now on an enquiry relating to

your treatment in the prison. If you have complaints about

your t reatment , 1 suggest that you take it to the person in (10)

charge or with the head office of the Department ot Prisons .

- - I was just wondering if His Worship hasn't the power to etop

these people trom takin~ me back to that prison where I come

from.

I am not prepared to make an Order at all in that respeCt

now, I doubt whether I have the authority to make such an Order,

I am still busy hearing eVidence about the treatment of Accused

No.1 in the prison. I am not prepared to make any Order at

this stage.
