Special Report Transcript Episode 65, Section 2, Time 19:15

The fight between the members and Mr. Biko at that time became a very violent struggle. Mr. Biko was on the one end and in the process of the shuffle he fell, and the others fell on top of him. He was then pushed towards the wall. // You were referring to the wall and where the people fell. Could you explain from there onwards what occurred? // An effort was then made to shackle Mr. Biko again. He was lying with his head partly against the wall and at that time it appeared as if he was completely confused. I would almost explain it like someone who had been knocked out in a boxing match; you could see that he was dazed. // We’ve already touched on the fact that you had violated the human rights of the deceased. Today, 20 years after the event, what would your personal feelings be? // Your honour it is my conviction in the depths of my heart that our actions were wrong. I can say in honesty that I feel remorse over these events. // Would there be anything else that you’d want to bring to the Commission at this stage? // Your honour I want to ask that I be forgiven for my part. That is all.
