MR LYSTER: Interrogated while sitting on a cold, wet floor. Is that where Sergeant Tshivhase beat you on the back with a sjambok?

MR KGOATHE: He found that my father had lots of marks, that he had been whipped with a sjambok. He had also been beaten with the buckle of a belt on his body. Even the Dr Joubert, he'd also been told by my father before he died that he slipped on soap, but when the doctor said no, no, no this ...

... A girl called Nthombizolwa and a boy called Mbongi came out. The other one, that is the man, had a knife, and the girl, Nthombizolwa, had a sjambok. They called me. They said, "You come here, a member of Inkatha." Should I have known what was going to happen I could have ran way, but I ...

speak first and not ourselves, we thought is correct for us to come and hear in silence this time the screams, the begging for mercy as electricity, sjambok, knobkierrie was tearing both the human body and soul. All these things in exile and underground in prison we did experience, but the ...

poles. They said I must get out from the car and I must put my hands around the poles. And when I tried to do that they started hitting me using a sjambok, and then they said these two black policemen must hold my hands so that they can beat me. They went on and on beating me. They were not ...

I was beaten with the sjambok. The stuffed me in a mello-yellow, I pretended that I had died. They were burning me with cigarette butts, I have wounds on my head still. I do not have all my teeth - my set was affected - they kicked me in the mouth.

... it was really burning. Gunshots were fired, people were going up and down. We were told to make a salute, a fist and if we salute then you get a sjambok behind by the police, you are aimed at. So it was a chaos. What you were to do it is up to you what are you doing. Are you lifting up your ...

an elderly lady from Umlazi. She had been in detention previously, I think, also under Section Six and she had been severely beaten. She still had sjambok marks on her back. I would just maybe ask the Commissioners to see if they can find out what has happened to Gladys and, you know, whether ...

MR R.B. CELE: No, I cannot remember because a lot of people partook in the lashing of those people. There were about 600 people present. You would give them a lash and give the sjambok to another person until they had received their number that had been decided upon.

but from the notes at my disposal, there is an allegation that you were beaten at the police station during your detention in 1985 - in fact with a sjambok. Is that - is that not during 1985 ...

CHAIRPERSON: But his punishment is a whipping on the behind with a sjambok, that is what he anticipates.

but he was pale, pale that time. On his return he was crying telling us he was from Kempton Park Police Station, they beat him, they kick him, they sjambok him there, he said on their way to Kempton Park Station. He was inside of the car's boot. How do you manage it, how do you think. That's ...

MRS SIZILA: They used a sjambok.

... they are white, we hate them because they oppress us. Remove oppression, the hatred will go. It is therefore plain dishonesty to say I hate the sjambok not the person who is yielding it." Can you explain to the Committee what did you mean by ...

... a piece from a newspaper, a Mr Isaac Setseku who was tortured by means of electrical shocks, during my days. I can tell you they might have used a sjambok, they might have used a kierrie, and I'm against this whole question of electrical shocks. A policeman would not have dared doing it. Mr ...

MRS NGOMANE: No, I have never seen him with a gun. What I saw from his was a sjambok.

the house and I said no, you don’t tell me what to do. Why are you beating my son? They said that I have too much to say and they attacked me with sjamboks. After a while Nkomiphela came along with a knopkierie and a sjambok and he also beat me behind my ear. I had bruises all over my ...
