MR MBEKWA: He was detained for two years, released in the third year.
REV XUNDU: How was he health wise?
MR MBEKWA: He was ill of health. He would tell us how he was ill treated. He said that they were beaten up all the time. They were accused of not respecting the Government. He was very thin when he was released. Blind as well.
MR MBEKWA: He said that he had been hit with the back of a gun and he could not use his right arm, therefore his health just deteriorated. And it deteriorated until such time that he died. He could not work even on his plantations, because he had no strength.
