Tango Lamane a fellow member of COSAS tells more of the police setup of Zenzile. // On this night, they arrived at the house and there were few other comrades with us in the house. Zenzile was not there. So, they got in there, there were some two or three other black security policemen with them, and some white security policeman. The only one I can remember now is Gideon Niewoudt. Niewoudt had a packet of cigarettes in his shirt, in his pocket in front. So, he took out this packet of cigarettes, and there were small other, small white papers. So, he took out this packet of cigarettes and these small pieces of paper, then he put them on the floor. After some time, they said, ok they’re leaving now. As they were leaving, so Niewoudt bent down to pick up the packet of cigarettes and the small pieces of paper. I was standing across him, on the other side, so as he was picking up this packet of cigarettes and pieces of paper he left one piece of paper on the floor. He took all the others and the packet of cigarettes, he put them back in his shirt pocket. Then they were preparing to leave. Then there was this small piece of paper he left there. After they left, then we jumped for that piece of paper. When we got this piece of paper, it was a receipt, but there was an indication that it was a receipt from the police and it had Zenzile’s name and an amount of money and a signature at the bottom.
