Special Report Transcript Episode 62, Section 3, Time 19:02

The Bonteheuwel Military Wing started precisely because we needed to respond to the manner in which the state operated. We needed to one, defend ourselves, defend our community, because it appeared as if our community were under siege. We had a situation where there were, police put patrols – and I’m talking about constant patrols, almost 24 hours patrols. You had constant surveillance of activists, their houses; you had a situation where people were detained at random. People were basically just taken out of the classrooms.
